The sprinters exploded off the blocks. They dove
into the pool. Kim was the fastest off the blocks. She
sprang like a cat. Her hands seemed to make a hole
in the pool. Then her arms and her legs went in the
same hole.
Kim went under. She started kicking with her
legs like a fish. Then she popped up and started
swimming. She took five fast strokes. Then she
stopped. She swam to the side of the pool, got out,
and went back to the starting blocks.
