I’ve been a sports nut since I was old enough to hold a ball. That’s why when my PE teacher presented me with the idea of joining the swimming team. I decided to give it a shot and challenge myself a bit more. So I started going to swimming practice last June. At first I only regarded swimming as a hobby to enhance my physical fitness. But soon I found I fell in love with it.
sample
Then, last week, I had my first swimming competition in the 100m breaststroke. Standing tall at the head of the lane made me feel both nervous and excited. After the sound of the whistle, I dived in and began to swim with all my strength! Finally, I came in third place. I was so happy for my achievement, and it proved that hard work pays off. I will keep on swimming, perhaps for the rest of my life. Not only because it makes me healthier and stronger, but also for the confidence and sense of achievement it has brought.
