I have always loved to swim and I first learned when I was very young. My mom signed my up for lessons at the YMCA by my house in queens. I was scared of the water at first because I didn't know how to swim and was scared of drowning. After a few weeks of lessons I got the hang of it and became a pretty decent swimmer and we even went to the deep side and jumped off a 10 foot driving board and keep in mind I was pretty young when this happened. I have overcame my fear of the water and began to love the sport of swimming. Now adays my house has a inground pool and during the summer thats where you'll find me most of the time. Swimming is relaxing at times and can even be very good exercise for your body as well as being a sort of therapy. This is why swimming is one of my hobbys.
