Onomatopoeia- Swimming

This is my poem using onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is where you can hear the sound in a word and be able to say it.
Example- woof, crash.

SWIMMING
The students dive in the pool
Splash! Splash! Splash!
It's cool!
They kick their legs
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Their legs have to be as straight as pegs.
They take a big breath
Hhh! Hhh! Hhh!
The students paddle with their arms
Wsh! Wsh! Wsh!
They do a tumble turn against the wall
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their feet are sore
They glide through the water
Swishhhh! Swishhhh! Swishhhh!
The lesson has finished
Yeay! Yeay! Yeay!
They all say.
