Swimming

When I was eight years old I went to the beach and I would see my sister and her friends all go far into the water and I would have to stay on land. They felt bad, so they decided to teach me how to float on my back. That was the first time I ever learned how to do anything in the water.
Once I came to the U.S I started going to public pools with my friends. I didn't really know how to swim so I wouldnt be allowed to go into the deep end. By myself I finally learned how to swim by myself.
I kept practicing throughout the summer now I'm a really good swimmer. I am on the swim team for my school and my fastest time is about 43 seconds for 50 meters.
