Swimming - November 9, 2012

Swimming is a sport I enjoy…the thrill of icy, cold water…the feeling of adrenaline pumping through every taken stroke.  In competitive swimming there are four strokes used in races: freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly.  My strongest strokes are the first three, but in the near future I plan to master butterfly…hopefully!! 

At Senator O’Connor College School swim season starts in September and carries on all the way to the beginning of February.  We have two practices per week, and normally we go to two invitational meets before the city-finals.  Last year was my first time to ever take on swimming competitively.  Before this experience I focused on lifesaving aquatics…in other words - lifeguarding.

Swimming is a great tool to acquire…it serves so many purposes, and it can be a very enjoyable pastime.  This year I hope to get a medal at the city-finals…we’ll see if that works out!!!
