Freestyle swimming

Part of being prepared is being experienced in all kinds of different situations because the circumstances Mavericks can be unpredictable. Without knowing how to surf in just normal conditions, one will go nowhere but down with the tons of water if they attempt to surf Mavericks. Most of the big-wave surfers have been surfing since their teens or even before. Jay Moriarity trained for 4 years before he first took on Mavericks at the age of 16 (Cagnoni). He is undoubtedly one of the youngest…

Away for the summer, and swimming everyday. During the summer of my sophomore year I went to the warm and humid Baltimore city. During this summer I spent a great deal learning of myself and the world around me. For beginners I spent it with my aunt and uncle, and spent no time with my own inclosed family (excluding my sister). I spent it without the support of my close and dear family. Throughout the experience I was given choices to make, and these little or big choices I had to make on…

It was the summer I decided to be better. I had done gymnastics for years, but this year I wanted to be a level six. At the time, I was a level four and to skip levels was not only difficult, but rare. “I can if I work hard enough,” I told myself, and I did. My first level six meet was here, and I had lots of people thinking it was going to be awful, that I was not ready and that I was not good enough. Floor was my last, and best event so I decided I would end with a bang. My teammates were…

Normally all is normal in normal Illinois. But something about the third weekend of May 2017 that was all but normal, especially to Jim Joe Jerry a police officer. Temperatures dropped, crime rates raised, and to Jim Joe Jerry disaster was closer than ever before. But the worst was yet to come. “Shwish.” The breeze went. Everything went cold as Jim Joe Jerry twitched to his awakening. Jim felt uneasy already knew today was going to terrible, but why? The last time Jim had a half bad day…

On November 15th, 2015 I had to lead a 4-person row boat in a 4000 meter race in Mission Bay, San Diego. It was my first year with my high school’s rowing team and rowing in general, and I loved it. It was 6 in the morning when my coach told my group words I would never forget, “You guys are my top boat. If anyone’s winning, it’s you guys.” I was the stroke of my boat, meaning I set the pace everyone follows. I felt anxious; when you boil it down, the rate of our success depended on me. When we…

I looked out into the clear blue water as my toes curled over the edge of the pool’s wall “Just pretend it’s a giant bowl of Mac and Cheese!” my instructor yelled. Any child would be delighted to jump into a large bowl of their favorite food; however, any sensible person could tell that the 6-foot diving well was anything but Mac and Cheese. Most children my age were just as scared I was, but as the years passed, it became apparent that fear was a challenge I could not overcome without hesitancy…

In the story, Ned works so hard, he swims across the county. Ted is really a sympathetic man, he is bankrupt, and his memory loses this part. He thinks that Lucinda and his daughter are waiting him at home. When he begins swimming in Westerhazys' pool, and the Grahams' swimming pool, they treated him hospitably. When it storms, he stays in the Levys' gazebo. When he gets to the Welchers' , he finds that their house is for sale now, Ned can't even remember when he last heard about the Welchers.…

I instantly jumped into the water and I knew. I knew that today was going to be my day. The day I break my personal backstroke record after a season of times that remained consistent. No more of this nonsense, I had thought to myself. I have worked too hard, slept to little and given up to much to settle for average. I can do this. As soon as that buzzer went off, my arms flew behind me. That momentum landed me perfectly in the water, and propelled me forward. My legs were in perfect…

could say that I have a hydrophobic fear of swimming. I just say I can’t swim. I survived swimming by just trying harder in gym class and I got better as the grades go. Some may know I don’t like swimming. This is why I think I don’t like swimming. My mom has a hydrophobic fear for water because my mom had to swim in school and she said it was terrible. Another reason is I can't float well in the water. I can't float well because I have never been swimming before in my life, which leads into…
