Breaststroke

My First Summer Camp It was the last day of my first summer camp. The night before my Boy Scout troop would pack all their gear and leaves the coast of the Puget Sound, and return to the suburbs where most of the kids in my troop lived. This day, at least at Camp Parsons, was the Hullabaloo. The Hullabaloo was a great gathering of all the patrols at camp in a large grass-covered area bordering a beach and then the Puget Sound. The whole area was dotted with green trees and was overlooked by a very

The trapezius is a large, kite-shaped muscle located on the back, and has the job of all movement of shoulder blades and extension of the head at the neck. It deals with moving and rotating, and is aligned against the spine as well. When it gets pulled or injured, it can cause excruciating back pain, muscle spasms, inability to move the neck, and more. What it means, is that there is a muscle on your back connected to so many different parts of you, that when messed up causes so much pain. Senior

It was my first high school meet of the season and my nerves were on edge. All summer, I had been training hard to reach my goal of qualifying for the state swim meet. The event I had the best chance at was the 100 yard breaststroke. My time was only one second away from the qualifying time. As the race grew near, my nerves improved, and I believed that I could qualify. I stepped up onto the block, dove in, and swam my heart out. As I finished my race, I looked up from the pool and saw that I had

“[Swimming]... It’s a very powerful social change tool because it teaches women confidence, self esteem and strength. It changes them. It’s part of the reason that the guys wanted women out of sports for a very long time.” 1 Donna Lopiano; “The reason we have females separated in sports is because in many sports, the best female athletes can’t compete with the best male athletes. And everybody knows that, but nobody wants to say it. Females are structured like a disabled class for all sorts of, I

Ro-ee Tal 12-N Physical Education Written Task A: Sport as a unifier 1. Yes, I do believe sporting events contribute to unifying a nation. Majority of people an any given nation tend to enjoy and support sporting events, irrespective of the sport itself. As a result, sport acts as a common ground between people of different socioeconomic, religious, racial and other backgrounds. This common ground forces people of different backgrounds to interact and to treat each other with sportsmanship

Swimming is a skill most learn as means for pure survival. However, some people take the skill to the next level, and participate in the sport of competitive swimming. Ranging from local neighborhood summer swim leagues to the world broadcasted Olympics, competitive swimming has participants of all levels.

Throughout my life I have been privileged with many lessons, some taught by my own mistakes, other’s guidance, or through my own interests and determination. I approach each mistake as simply a way to learn more, so I don’t have to repeat that ever again. One format that I have learned from is my experience in getting a first job. The path I took in achieving my goals for that job and being finally hired is something I never want to forget, because it teaches me a very, very simple lesson that many

From time to time, in your pursuit of doing what you strive to do, there will be roadblocks or obstacles getting in the way of your success. Most people simply give up at that point, stop trying with the excuse of, “it’s not worth it,” or “it’s too hard.” If I had done that and quit at the first few obstacles, I would have never been able to come to the point that I am at today.
