The diving board

It was the first day on the sandbar at Gold Beach Fest and I and the other kids were going to jump off the diving board. The adults said the diving board wasn't there last year so someone must have put it in after last year's fest. I was second to jump, so soon, it was my turn. I walked out onto the diving board, and jumped. For the few seconds I was in the air, I was relieved because I had done it; there was no going back. But then, I hit the water and yes, it was cold. When I came to the surface, I took a deep breath. The pool I jumped into was like ten feet deep so we could jump a lot more. After I jumped I would sometimes make a loop back to the diving board but other times if the adults made us get out or I sometimes wanted to get out of the river and sunbathe, I did.
