Kaleb’s Travels The life and times of Kaleb Guard

When I was in Nigeria I was staying in My Poppa's flat. The flat had a pool so me and Pop went down there I think three times.

We swam at the pool a lot. Sometimes we would have races and Pop won all the time, that's because I can't even swim properly yet.

When we went down there the first time I asked Pop how to dive into the water so he taught me how to. When he finished teaching me how I started diving off the diving board the whole time. I also would duck dive down to the bottom of the pool at the deep end, and the deep end is around three meters deep.

Sometimes we played catch with a little ball I got from Pop's work. We jumped really high out of the pool to get the ball because me or Pop were throwing it really high to each other.

I didn't only play with Pop, I met some kids who lived in Pop's apartment complex and made friends. One was called Tristan and one was called Dennis. We played catch too and we even jumped off the diving board together. There was a playground as well but only Dennis played on that because he was only four and it was a playground for little kids.

We always went to the pool in the afternoons. Going to the pool in Nigeria was really fun because I learned how to dive and made two cool new friends.
