I started taking swimming lessons because I wanted to become a good swimmer. Initially, I thought swimming was easy, but it was not so. I cried on the first two days. I began swimming lessons in the three feet pool and learnt how to float. After two days, I learnt how to flap my legs and then moved on to the five feet pool. Now, I am a good swimmer. I have even got an annual membership in the club. Easy steps to learn: 1. Believe you can do it. 2. Practise — it makes one perfect. 3. Start small and then move toward bigger things. Step-by-step progress will bring out great possibilities in you. I felt ecstatic that I am finally able to swim.
