The essay on “How I learned to swim”


Children’s memories – they are the most vivid and interesting. It is this period of our life that we often remember and want to become small again for a moment. I think that you will agree that in childhood everything seems so especially important and unusual. Playing games, we are able to travel in our imagination to distant galaxies, defeat formidable enemies, save princesses and become super heroes.

Every summer in the near childhood my sister and I were sent for a week to stay with my grandmother. We really enjoyed this time, because our grandmother lived near the river and the canal. We lived with parents in a place where there were no water bodies. For this reason, each visit to us was marked by a trip to the kingdom of Neptune. Flickering in the water, we imagined ourselves mermaids who could swim perfectly. But in fact neither I nor my sister could do this. And I wanted to learn so much. We were allowed to ramble only in small fry, where we had to train our

skills. Supporting each other, we tried to swim. It’s difficult, but we still liked to spend a lot of time in the water. In short, after a while swimming skills did appear and we learned to sail a few meters! Hooray! It was our special victory. Now you could learn to jump from the bridge. Many children already knew how to do it. Of course, we also wanted to come home and boast to our parents about such important achievements. In general, we decided to try. On the insurance were our adult friends who literally grew up on the water and could swim smartly. Rising up the steps to the bridge, my forks were slightly shaking. It’s scary to do something for the first time! But we must take risks and then everything will turn out, at least in this we want to believe. My sister was cuddling and could only get up and stand on the bridge. Nobody condemned her, because she was the youngest and so fragile. When the time comes, she will decide to do it herself. In the meantime, even climbing the bridge is already a great achievement. boast to parents about such important achievements. In general, we decided to try. On the

In general, it was worthwhile to show an example and not to be scared. It was difficult, because my legs were also trembling before jumping. And now it has come, this is an important and crucial moment. Inhale – and jump! I fly in flight to the water. This time seemed so long, although in fact it was not a second. Diving under the water, the first thought that flashed in my head was to float to the surface of the water. I managed! For the first time I completed this difficult and important leap. Now it was much easier to repeat what was done. So we learned to swim with my sister.
