Hobbies

Swimming

If you were to ask me what my favourite hobby is, it would be swimming. I began swimming at the young age of seven, and fell in love ever since.

There are many joys that come with swimming. Swimming can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the

water and feeling almost weightless. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed. Also it is a Sport on its own, exercising the entire body and heart. Trying tricks like who can stay underwater for long has never been any less fun . I love water gymnastics, but unfortunately that's one thing I never learnt to do.

There's nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot, day. The pool makes you feel instantly better, and I think it adds to the summer holiday feeling, as for me the summer months are when I swim the most. In my country, summer is all year round.
