I try to swim, I really do. I can only last minutes in the water without getting exhausted though. I can barely freestyle. Even Breaststroke makes me tired. Backstroke is O.K. but I’m not usually in a situation to use it and I simply can’t do Butterfly. I can do doggy-paddle but it just isn’t enough any more. I’m couldn’t swim until I was 7 because I had to self teach and I don’t want to be affected forever because of this.
I love swimming! But can only go 1 or 2 times a year. (even though the pool is very near)
My friend has moved next to the local pool so she said she could invite me over and we could go in together. It’s been really wet and cold lately so I can’t go very soon.
Perhaps my parents will let me take lesson in the Christmas holidays… Highly doubtful but worth a try. Wish me luck.
First step is finally agreeing to go shopping with my mum to get a good swimsuit. The one I have now is board shorts and a sun top…. I’m REALLY over it….
EDIT: Word’s spread around that next term we’ll be doing a year 7 Swimming Scheme. (YAY!) Really hope that we do. :)
