Swimming Events Within The World

Apart from the entertainment and joy doing them, they are imperative to my physical health. These sports have made me develop many friends and learn about different cultures. I was a member of a swimming club in my former school; here we travelled many places for competitions. During these competitions, I would try to make as many friends as possible. My choice of friends was always different races from mine, which made it a thrilling experience. I am a social and outgoing person, who always likes to learn about other people. Even though I have earned several titles as an individual in swimming, what I enjoyed most about these sports is the fact that I could meet people from different cultures around the world. Learning about these cultures also played a great role in making me study

My parents tell me that I took to swimming like... a fish takes to water. It is a safe place where I can float free of worries.

The sport requires great strength, endurance, grace, and timing. They also have to smile the whole time, even if their teammate kicks them in the face during the performance. Accordingly to this, that is why people like me, see it as an art thing not a sport. It looks so easy when you see the swimmers doing their performance without any efforts. But then, my daughter who

began as a demonstration of strength and swimming skill in late 19th century England and Scotland. It was one of the first sports introduced into the modern Olympic games in 1900.
