Didn’t like any sport in my childhood but today swimming is my favourite. my father is a very good swimmer, so he was the one who taught me how to swim when i was 6 years old. but i didn’t start swimming seriously until i was 15 when i learnt many advantages in this activity. first of all, i don’t get hot and sweaty like we do with other kinds of sports. besides, it’s not a team game so it doesn’t matter if i’m not quite good at it. as far as i know, swimming also increases my lungs capacity, it develops my breathing technique and makes my heart pump better. and it burns a lot of calories too. so i started going to the swimming pool because i needed more exercise to stay fit, physically strong and healthy. for me it’s the best way to relieve my daily stress and tiredness. i go the local swimming pool for adults twice a week in the evenings. the sessions last for one hour, from 7 to 8 p.m. i really enjoy the time there. there are no children screaming and jumping in the pool. i just swim up and down quietly along my own lane, marked with ropes. my personal favourite stroke is freestyle. it is the fastest of the four primary strokes. i am also fond of backstroke. floating on my back is so relaxing and soothing. the equipment for my favourite sport is minimal, so i don’t spend much money on it. all i need is a swimming costume and a towel. sometimes i wear waterproof goggles and a swimming cap to protect my eyes and hair from the chlorine in the water. although i find them rather uncomfortable. swimming is popular among both children and grown-ups. and it’s a perfect sport for me because it makes me feel great.
