Jelly legs with a jelly fish

I was swimming in the ocean of Spain and then I saw a jelly fish and I remembered when I was a smaller kid. 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 the ocean plants floated around. The red rocks were harder to see every stroke I took farther into the ocean. The fish I saw were awesome. 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 Poisonous and venomous 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 and all that came out of my mouth were big bubbles. My heart started to thump with surprise and all my blood rush to my head and I was confused I didn't know whether to admire it or be scared of it. I saw that my thumb was in the hole 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. If jelly fish had brains or emotions at all I bet it would have been surprised as I was. The jelly fish seemed like it wanted to get away from me but it was barley moving were he wanted to go. It was more like were the ocean wanted him to go. He was slower than a turtle on land. I helped the jelly fish get away from me by getting away from it. I tried pull away from the jelly fish. I tried not to hit the jelly fish as I was starting to swim away. When I was far enough from the jelly fish I swam as fast as I could to get away from the jelly fish. I was heading towards shore. I didn't slow down until the jelly fish was out of sight. I thought about 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 on. So I remembered that jelly fish can be dangerous.
