Swimming can be practised all around the world. It is
very simple and not very difficult as most people are taught to swim
when they are young. It doesn’t need much material, just a towel, a swimsuit,
goggles, a swimming cap and a pair of flip flops. Apart from that, if you want to
develop your muscles more, you can use oars and swimming flippers that are not
too expensive.Swimming is a very healthy sport because it mostly makes the whole body work. It also relaxes. However it is not the best sport; it can be dangerous if you start to swim before you haven’t finished your digestion. Therefore you can get injured if you don’t properly make some movements of the arms or legs, or if your posture is not correct, you can acquire serious problems in your back.
To practice this sport in our country and province, we have several levels of difficulty and also of speed. If you are just starting with it, there are short courses in which you are not told to swim much and that take few hours every week. If you are more advanced, in these short courses there are also levels in which more hours every week are added and the number of meters you have to swim increases. If you think that your level of swimming is higher than this, you can go to the school of swimming in which you pay a fee for four months and you swim one hour everyday of the week, from Monday to Friday. Moreover there is a higher level than this, it is the club of swimming, in which you pay the same as the last one but you swim two hours every day of the week and in which you can compete with the rest of the provinces of Castilla y León and within the rest of the communities in Spain. Actually this is where I swim.
It is a bit hard, but it is worth it because you end with the satisfaction that one day when you compete you can win some medals and also you can get to be the best swimmer of our country. Here in Soria there are a lot of people who swim that are really good and that win a lot of medals and are good people. Swimming here doesn’t mean that you leave your studies, because it is surprising that with the number of hours that we spend swimming, they have really good academic results. Being here means to be good at swimming, be a hard worker, and a good student (or at least trying to be). Here we can find people of all ages, from 11 or 12 years old to people of 18 or 20 years old.
All in all, swimming is great; you can have a really good time without spending a lot of money and you can be healthy. For the ones that haven’t tried it yet, I advise them to try it. It is worth it and they can get a lot of advantages.
I hope you have liked it. BYE!!
Not swimming but all sports in which you can go to championships or why you are given a scholarship to study out of your city are great. When I was a little kid I used to swim in a team and I loved it. However, I didn´t follow with it. I didn´t remember why and I am sorry with that because I will like to continue swimming, I remember I was very fast. It isn´t late to swim again but nowadays I practice a lot of sport and I don´t have time because I also study a lot. Now that I read the post I will try to go in my spare time to the swimming pool to remember old times. I wish you continue swimming and winning a lot of championships. Maybe if you follow your dreams , one day we will turn on television and we will see you in the news.

ReplyDeleteSwimming is a fantastic sport that most of the people have practised at least once,but not in a serious way as you. I think that knowing how to swim is very important because it can be very useful for everyone's life, this sport can safe lifes. For instance, if you fall down into de river. For this reason children must learnt how to swim the soon as they can.
ReplyDeleteApart from that, swimming is very good for the back and it is also a way to relax somehow.
Swimming is more than a sport. It is essential for our daily life. I love swimming and I have been swimming since I was little. I agree that it is relaxing and because of that, I think it is good to go swimming for both relaxing and doing some exercise. I have never competed, but I think that it requires a lot of effort and time. You need to like it a lot and want to do it. However, every effort has its reward. Who does not want to win a medal?
ReplyDeleteI think swimming is a good sport, but it is not better, for me, than the rest. Everyone has its preferences and so, we all make effort to win in the sports we like. But it is a shame that swimmers and other athletes have not the same opportunities as a football player for example.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with you Victor, I think all sportsmen should have the same proffesional opportunities because all of them have to suffer a lot for getting their dreams.
ReplyDeleteSwimming is a very complex sport. It seem easy, but it isn´t if you practise it in a professional way.
It requires some corporal strenght, together with a lot of technical knowledges in this specific sport.
I have enjoyed reading your post.
It seems to be difficult and at the same time hard. I think it requires a lot of resistance and sacrifice, because you must work very hard to be a good swimmer. Don´t you? How do you improve your way of swimming as the difficult activity it is?
ReplyDeleteYou say that swimming in Soria doesn´t mean to leave your, swimming is the same sport in every place you can leave your studies or not, this doesn´t depend of the sport you practised or the place you practised it this depend of you. A lot of people practise any other sports, sometimes harder than swimming and they neither leave their studies.
ReplyDeleteto leave you studies*
ReplyDeleteI think that is very important for everyone to know how to swim because who knows when you are going to need it. Even thought it is a very competitve sport and that there is some people that practise it in a serious way, I think that you have to enjoy practising it. I mean, I think that swimming is good but, at least for me, practising it so many hours by week will be very hard and it will take me too many time. Definitely, I prefer to practise sports in a more relax way and to have a good time than for competitions.
