A
I learnt to swim when I was a teenager. I went to the local (本地的) swimming pool with my two sisters. It was old and cold and not very nice. I can still remember my instructor: his name was Colin Firth, like the actor. But he wasnt as good⁃looking!
—Rachel Robbins
My father was a swimming instructor so I guess its in the blood. I cant remember a time when I couldnt swim. I spent most of my childhood holidays at the beach and I still go at any opportunity (机会) I get.
—Simon Fordham
It took me a long time to learn. I wasnt a natural. I still dont swim very well. I certainly wouldnt like to be in a boat in rough (汹涌的) seas. I never really learnt to put my face in the water. It hurts my eyes and I cant see.
—Geoffrey Hopkins
One day I was standing by the deep end of the swimming pool and I suddenly fell in. I dont know how I did it but I managed to get to the side. I was coughing but I could swim! My brother saw me when I got out and thought it was very funny. But he didnt laugh when I hit him.
—Karen Marks
My first experience of swimming was when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was on a small boat with about ten other boys. It was very small and someone pushed me in the water. The water was very clean and I could see everything. I remember feeling very peaceful and comfortable, and I wasnt worried at all. I started swimming, not very well, but another boy helped me to return to the beach.
—Phillip Parker
