“I am from”

I am from the water
I am from “kick faster!”
I am from chlorine
I am from kick boards
I am from swim caps
I am from flippers
I am from goggles
I am from diving blocks
I am from flip turns
I am from starts and finishes
I am from practice
I am from determination
I am from hard work
I am from Lost Creek Aquatics

What inspired me to write this poem was swimming. When we were doing “I am from” poems in class I thought it would be more interesting to write about my swim team than about my home. I have been swimming since I was 6 years old so I feel like swimming is a lot where I am from.
