Do you know how to swim? Swimming can save you in many ways. Learning to swim means that if you get stuck in the middle of the ocean you will know how to float and fight against the current. Swimming is also a great way to have fun with your friends and if you get stuck in a rip current you can cut it off. When your kid goes swimming with school they will go with their classmates, the programme is free for all students.

Learning how to swim can save your life. Swimming saved my life more than once. I went on a boat and we were swimming with life jackets. I drifted too far  from the boat so I needed to swim to the boat. I learnt how to swim that year so I swam with ease. As a kid my favourite thing to do was swim so I went to swimming lessons every Wednesday, My favourite style of swimming is freestyle.

My favourite thing about swimming is it’s fun. Swimming is an international sport you can learn life lessons from anything, I’ve learnt that swimming has asthma benefits. Since I have asthma I have been swimming from a young age So my asthma has gone down a lot since. My three favourite things to do in swimming are freestyle backstroke and butterfly. My swimming instructor is Sam. Sam has been teaching me for 4 years now and in summer it will be my 5th year.

Swimming is for all people including people with disabilities anyone can swim as long as they try their best. My personal best time for swimming a 500 meters freestyle is 3 minutes and 47 seconds. I can hold my breath for 4 minutes. It took me 3 months to be able to come close to 4 minutes.

Going swimming, I’ve made friends that I play with at school after school during the holidays. I have had most of my friends since 3 grade. Overall I think that swimming is my favorite sport of all time. And when I go swimming I feel like a whole different person.
