The cool water felt great as I was surrounded by hundreds of fish. The water was murky and full of bits of ocean plants floating around above the giant red rocks in the random current that were harder to see every stroke I took. I saw striped fish that were really fast and bolted around the rocks like little tiny humming birds. There were these other fish that were sandy brown with darker brown splotches that looked just like the sand and a little hard to see, but the fish that were hardest to see were the silver fish that reflected light of of there scales to blend in the water perfectly. I was swimming faster than usual with my flippers and didn't pay attention to were I was because I was so concentrated on the fish, but I was not too deep in the water so I thought that I couldn't get lost.
I wish I had my net because I love to catch fish but I always let them go. The fish that I saw were so cool. In Spain there were a lot of jelly fish and rock fish and lion fish and a lot of other tropical fish in the ocean near the beach but I had not seen any so I was not worried. I swam up near some floating trash accidentally. I was disgusted by the trash and that people were so inconsiderate.

At that moment my thumb felt something squishy around it. I looked back and saw something so surprising “OH MY GOD” I said but it was muffled by the water as bubbles came out of my mouth. I saw that my thumb was in the whole of a clear baby blue, moon jelly fish, but the biggest, I ever saw in my life, and believe me I have seen a lot of jelly fish. I tried pull away from the jelly fish. I tried not to hit the jelly fish as I was starting to swim away then I swam as fast as I could. I was heading towards shore. I didn't stop until it was to shallow to keep swimming. I got out of the water backwards like my dad taught me to do. I took of my flippers then picked them up. This beach did not have sand it had rocks so it was painful to walk. When I got to the towel I told every body what happened.
