My favorite sport is swimming I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at least twice a week ever since
You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim only a pair of swimming trunks if you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl When you start you may like to use a ring
or some water wings
How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even taught their six month old babies to swim It is just a good idea just to play around in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the water Try to find a good teacher You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothly and easily As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress
Most people learn the breast-stroke first and then go on to back-stroke and crawl After that, you can learn to dive Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to the pool I am particularly interested in swimming faster than anyone else but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible
Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in your body I would recommend anyone at ant age to take up swimming as a hobby
