Swimming pool

of 2014 I was at the pool with some of my friends and my mom had dropped off my 12 year old brother Keshawn and my nephew Money and asked if “ they could stay up there with me because they want to swim” . I said it was “ no problem because I’m just hanging around not doing anything really ”. So after a while it started to get cold. Just about all my my friends had gotten out of the water and now was just hanging out around the pool and my brother and nephew were still swimming around playing…

a major obstacle in learning to dive. To try to solve this problem, I began to practice on weekends at the school pool with only my parents and the lifeguard around to witness my…

I like swimming, I always do. My peacefulness translates into the deep blue pool of water. It is not the deep blue in terms of sad emotions, much emphasis underlies below the water. Your body feel free, diving in the water resonated by the amplification of your waves from every stroke you have made. Being calm and relax are the key of essentials in swimming, to stay afloat as well as to be efficient in the water without a judder of tiredness. My swimming teacher nags about it a lot until it is…

greatly excited for swim since I wasn’t able to swim the year before. By the end of swim season, I swam a 24.45 personal best for my fifty free, my favorite event. I was super excited and began to realize I could possibly obtain some scholarships for swimming at possibly a D2 college. In the fall and spring I deer hunt and turkey hunt. Deer hunting is my favorite activity by far. I got my love for deer hunting from my dad who taught me as a kid how to hunt. The reason I mainly hunt is for the…

author of the book “Outliers”, defines success based on the facts of when you born, where you grew up, and what language you speak. However, I describe success differently as, work ethic, persistence, and faith. Swimming is one of my favorite sports other than basketball, I have been swimming for almost ten years. However I have never made it to…

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…

out if this would be the best thing for me. In sixth grade I was told I had runners’ knee at that it was common in most runners. I was able to do track for two years before my knees got the best of me. In seventh grade I started to do competitive swimming and I loved it. Until I started to figure out that there was something wrong with my knees and it was not runners’ knees. As I swam and walked I could feel my knees popping and snapping. I went to a doctor and we did every nonsurgical option…

watching people swim in a pool or beach, making sure everyone is safe. They play a key role in ensuring swimmers are safe and away from harm.I am interested in this occupation as in my opinion, the job of a lifeguard is similar to that of a police but in the water. They protect swimmers and solve problems. I want to be seen as reliable to others just like they do. However, I did not start as being interested in becoming a lifeguard from the start. At first, I disliked swimming since all we did…

and earning a spot on the varsity team. Being captain my senior year would top off all the hard work I have put in the past four years and would be a great end to my high school swimming career. I embody the main qualities that make a captain - organization, dedication to the team, and enthusiasm about the sport of swimming. It is no secret that I am an extremely organized person. I schedule every day with my day planner and rarely lose track of any dates. I love to organize events for large…

to over 40 girls by going to the middle schools for recruiting trips and spreading the word about swim team throughout the high school. Just like every other emerging business or team, we had some growing pains. At times we would struggle to find a pool we could practice in and the first transition from the original captains to myself was tough. They did not leave me any guidelines other than what I…
