Swimming pool

had had enough of sliding into a ditch. I talked my friends into going to my house to go swimming in my pool. They agreed that was a better plan than staying here. Of course the boys heard us, and they followed us to my house. My pool was packed with teenagers. My mom was about to have a fit, but she eventually got over it. My mom had recently bought a cheap volleyball net that one of the boys found in the pool storage box. We enjoyed playing volleyball. We continued to yell at each other. “It’s…

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…

On July 18, 2011, I was 9 years old. That morning, at 10:00 a.m., I was at my swimming lessons at the Mora Aquatic Center. Leah and I went to our swimming lessons. After we finished at 11:15 a.m., we went to the park to eat lunch and play around until 12:30. At 12:30, I went to the pool and I went and played in the deep end (12ft 6 in) and went off the diving board and drop off slide. I also went on the other 2 water slides that they have. At around 3:40 p.m., I went on the fast green…

the busiest day of the week at the pool and the day had started off normally enough, although working as a lifeguard means things were bound to get interesting. I was halfway through an hour shift which was about the last thing I wanted to do in a hundred degree weather on a sunny July afternoon. The sun was relentless and I could practically feel my skin blistering but nevertheless I had a job to do; one that required me to watch over the patrons in the pool and ensure their safety. It was…

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…

Swimming has become an extremely popular and well-enjoyed sport or activity. But what most people do not know is the origin of this unique sport. Swimming can be dated all the way back to ancient times as prehistoric men had to swim in order to cross large bodies of water, but there were also many written works related swimming in the Early Modern Era and moreover, swimming eventually became a competitive sport during the 19th century. The competitiveness of swimming has translated into…

decided that swimming was an important skill that I should learn. They also thought it would be good exercise and help me to become physically stronger. What I did not realize was that learning to swim would also make me a more confident person. This later would be a great benefit to me in anything new I would try to do and make new experience less stressful and scary. One day, when I was five years old, I asked my Dad to go to the swimming pool. “Dad! Dad! Let's go to the swimming pool…
