입트영(입이트이는영어) 17.10.16 Swimming 수영

Talk about how you learned to swim.

When I was younger, I had a fear of water. It was because one time, I nearly drowned in a pool. In elementary school, my mother signed me up for swimming lessons. At first, it was hard just to get in the water. However, things got better as time passed. I even began to enjoy swimming. I kept at it with the lessons. I got pretty good at freestyle and breaststroke. As an adult, I still enjoy swimming. I go to the pool whenever I get the chance. I do several laps in the pool. I can get plenty of exercise through swimming. It makes my body flexible, and it makes me feel refreshed. Swimming is a great sport that I would recommend to anyone, regardless of age or gender.
