Swimming!!!

                During my middle school I have been quite a passionate swimmer and had many practices every week, also participated in a few competitions. However, for some reasons that I have forgotten I discontinued my swimming practices and I have been missing them for years. For that reason, I decided to continue practicing one of my favorite sports, thus it meant that I need to start practicing again. I went to my local extra-curriculum activities center named LVJC and registered for swimming practice and then it began.

                It has been over a month when I started to take swimming practices. I have them 2 times a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and they start on 6:45 am. Yes, I am not kidding. For the past month, I wake up on 5:30 am on practice days and quickly go to the pool. It was quite challenging to do that for the first two weeks because every morning is like hell. It was always hard for me to get up early and it makes it even harder to swim in the mornings. However, it had great effect on my overall felling during the day because early practices are the perfect energy booster. Also, my schedule is much more controlled now, since I needed to change quite a few things during my school days in order to be full of energy in the mornings and get enough of sleep. It really helped me to see the flaws that I had done previously, like watching various series until 11 pm or not focusing on learning enough. I fell that I had quite developed during that month and also I feel that even my grades are better now.

                I will certainly continue this activity. How long I don’t know because I have a problem with transportation this early in the morning and in winter it will be extra hard to go to the center on my own, but I hope that I will overcome my problems and don’t stop practicing as I did before.
