Swimming, my hobby – from a very young age of time

Swimming is my hobby… until now!

I have known swimming, ever since a very young age…

When I was five years old, I went to Ballet lessons. It was wonderful, but I also wanted to learn sports, like swimming! Dancing also wasn’t my type.

When I turned six, I quit ballet, and joined swimming lessons. I was happy, but at the start, it didn’t go as planned. I was told to swim all the way to the end, even though that I didn’t know how to swim.

But the next lesson was better. Our swimming coach taught us the famous style: freestyle. She said that we have to belly-flop, and hands to scoop.

I was glad for that, because afterwards, I had finished my first stage. Around my second stage, it was Christmas! So we had a bit of fun. 

It surprised me when I was stage five. I earned my stage five certificate two weeks earlier than supposed to.

On stage seven, I had to do swimming lessons in the evening. It was tiring, but at least I got to stage eight.

I finished swimming until stage eight. I wasn’t able to do stage nine, because my family and I were going back to Indonesia, from England.

My last ever swimming coach was called Tom. He taught me in stage seven and eight. My other coaches were called Mathew, Bob and Taylor. 

They were four altogether.

I was sad, because I didn’t think that swimming would turn out brilliant.

Swimming isn’t as good here. It’s so easy to get sunburnt. But there’s this Waterpark, only fifteen minutes from where I live now.

I sometimes go there to have fun and to practise swimming.

Now, I sometimes go on a school trip to practise as well! And on holidays (with my Dad).

I am very happy, that I’m able to practise in Indonesia. Swimming is definitely one of my favourite hobbies.

I love swimming, because, when I swim, it makes me feel fresh, relaxed, as if when you have a few bed thoughts, they turn into happy thoughts. 

My favourite style, is breath-stroke. Perhaps because you take a breath for every second.

I can do many styles in swimming, such as: Breath-stroke (my fav), freestyle (my first ever style), back-stroke (my fastest), butterfly (still needs practise), and dolphin (my funniest).  

Swimming is an awesome hobby, and sport too. It’s fun and relaxing.

I’m sad that I couldn’t get until stage nine, but I’m happy that I know all sorts of styles. 

Everyone can do swimming, even you.

The End

Sprinting 

Thursday, 18 May 2023

This morning, I woke pretty early to go out with parents, around Del (where I live).

We stopped at a rondure near a fish pond. Dad jogged around it, whilst Mom and I walked.Mom made some funny hand moves, left and right, which made me laugh. She said that I should make some too. I did.

Then we saw Dad jogging up to us. Mom and I stared at him like: wow, this kid never stops! Of course, we were wrong, for after we walked four rounds, my dad had slowed down.

Mom suggested that we should go to a place called, “the containers”. The containers are inside Del, but was a moor before the containers came in. Students used to study inside them, but now, not anymore. It’s alone now, but students still like to sprint there, for there’s a big yard, and another rondure there too.

We walked there. 

We passed classes and also passed offices. They were a few students who woke up early too, to study on benches outside their classes.

We also passed the Open Theatre. That was the place where me and my friends did some vocal singing and dancing on Easter Sunday (if you remember, I wrote about the practise a few weeks ago). It was also the place where I got my Gold medal for third place in a competition (also have wrote about that a few weeks ago).

We then turned a sharp corner. We also passed the Ninth Building (Industry Faculty), which was the place that I did the competition (read Third Place in my DiAgatha.com to know all about it). What loving memories of April!

We finally reached the containers. It was a green place, with ledges right next to the rondure, but my Dad started sprinting off around.

I told Mom that I wanted to sprint too. So I ran to Dad and we sprinted for three rounds. I was pretty surprised that I was able to do three rounds, because the rondure was bigger than the one near the fish pond. I walked with Mom as Dad took pictures of us. Finally we rested under a tree, which somehow peed on us! We took some photos, then we went back home.

We went through a path that passed dormitories of both boys and girls. There were flowers, as in Daisies, Tulips, Buttercups, and lots more. We took a photo with a flower that was pretty big.

I don’t know what it was, but I think that it was a tulip. It was a wonderful way to spend our morning. I hope we could be able to do it again (more holidays, PLZ!)
