Swiming pool Description

The pool is 15 metres long and 1 metre deep. Our instructors names were Jilian and Kevin. From the outside of the pool it looks like a big white tent with a strong gate at the end. The pool sounds like the sea and the it feels like a strong tank full of water. It smells like chlorine.

The pool is found inside the tennis courts and just stands there and it heats up the pool. The pool is used for us to learn to swim in which makes the swimming pool special and we sometimes have free time in the pool too.
