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 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 round 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 breaststroke first and then go on to backstroke 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 any age to take up swimming as a hobby.
