My mom used to say that I was born to swim。 But the truth is that I didn’t know how to swim until the last year of my primary school!
Mom always said that I could swim in the basin when I was only two months old。 I was surprised at the amazing fact。 If this was true， then why was I afraid of water? I went to swim every summer， but I didn’t make a little progress。
I was worried and blamed myself several times。 When I watched people swimming freely， how I wished I had learnt to swim!
The story of how I learnt to swim is dramatic。 One hot summer afternoon， my father and I went to the swimming pool to swim。 While my father was changing his clothes， I was roaming along the bank of the pool。
Suddenly I heard a voice， “Look out!” and then came a big noise and beautiful splashes。 Just when I was admiring the swimmer’s skills， I slipped into the pool! I was so afraid that I shouted at once! But the water kept coming towards me and I drank a lot of it。 I was moving upside down and trying to reach the bank。
I was struggling very hard to keep my head above the water。
