As part of another goal (to do a Triathlon) I want to learn to swim well

I’ve been living in Dalian, China for about 20 years since I was born. The city is beside sea, almost every people can swim when they were very young… I was afraid of water when I was a child, don’t know why, but at least, I decide to learn swimming at the age of 20, and I made it! I won’t be ashame when asked “Can you swim”!
What a wonderful time it has been learning to swim. Just think, not too long ago I loathed getting into the water. Now I love it and I am very upset that our university pool will be shut down for three weeks for cleaning and renovations. Now I have to find another pool to go to for part of the summer.
This was a great task and I hope other people will learn to love swimming as much as I have.
I had my last swimming class today. I have come a long way. I am not a fast swimmer, but I can now do laps without feeling like I am going to drown. Wednesday I did 500 meters with out stopping and I could have gone for at least 700 or more if my leg hadn’t cramped up on me.
I think I have accomplished this goal. I am no olympic swimmer and I never will be, but I think I can swim well enough now.
Yay for me!
So I’ve been taking swimming lessons. Today we started working on the breast stroke. I can do the front crawl, backstroke (two different kinds), I can kinda tread water, and I am beginning to get better at endurance.
I can do 50 meters without stopping. I just need to work up to a half mile and I’ll be set!
