Swimming!!

I love swimming! Except i don’t think i’m really good at it. Swimming was our PE class! Lots of fun and new friends!

I had prepared some swimwear for swimming class today… A pair of underwear, shorts and a towel, like in the islands! Ryu also gave me his goggles for that class. I was also wondering if I was allowed to make it splash!

There was a particular procedure that we had to follow before going into the pool, stretch routines, and showers. We had to quickly rinse ourselves before getting into the pool. The showers were freezing! Luckily the pool is on the rooftop of the gym, so that the sun can warm me up!

Getting into the pool and having a bit of free time to enjoy the pool. We had water fights, and they taught me how to squirt water with my hands! It was fun while it lasted, but after that, it was down to class.

We had to swim back and forth doing different styles of swimming. It was fun to swim with my friends but it was also VERY tiring! I don’t have a lot of stamina so i get tired real quick. Most of them were very fit and could easily swim to the end and back without being tired. I could only swim there and half way back full speed, then get tired! Luckily i wasn’t the only one that was tired! Some of my friends just got too tired and started walking!

After all these swimming lessons, they had races and MAN, most of them know how to swim! Well they have been doing it for about 5 years but still! These guys could clear the pool in 30 seconds! They would just boost through it!

When we finished swimming, we had to go through the cold showers again. I was actually glad that it was cold this time because I was very tired and hot. The showers cooled me down.

I really enjoyed swimming lessons with my friends! It was very refreshing and fun. Thank you Jishukan, my friends, and teachers!
