My favourite sport unquestionably is swimming. I learned swimming when I was six years old and my parents tell me that I took to swimming like a fish takes to water.
There are several reasons why I prefer swimming over all other sports. However the topmost remains, my love of water. Besides, swimming does not require expensive gear. A swimsuit and a pair of waterproof goggles and you are set to swim.
There are four strokes in competitive swimming. The freestyle which is my personal favourite has no restrictions. The three other styles are the backstroke, the breaststroke, which is commonly called as frog style, and the butterfly.
The mechanics and the turns are strictly regulated in these three strokes. Freestyle races in major championships are over 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m and 1500m for men, with the 800m instead of the 1500m for women.
In the other three strokes, both men and woman race over 100m and 200m.There are
medley races for both men and woman, over 200m and 400m, in which each stroke is swum for 50m and 100m respectively, the order being butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Relay races include 4x100m and 4x200m, as well as a medley 4x 100m relay in which the order of the strokes is backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle.
The standard long-course swimming events take place in Olympic-size pools, which measure 50m approximately and which have eight lanes, 2.3m wide.
Competitors dive in from starting blocks, except for the backstroke, which is started in the pool, and are timed to the 1/1000^ of a second by touching the electronic pads at the finish. Swimmers must keep in their own lanes, marked with ropes on the surface.
Lines of flags hang over the pool to let backstrokers know when they are within 5m of a turn or the finish. The competitor with the fastest entry time is assigned the lane on the right of the centre line. Slower swimmers are assigned lanes alternately to the left and right with the slowest swimmers in the outside lanes. If entry times are an indicator of form, the swimmers should spread out into a spearhead formation.
Michael Phelps an American swimmer won a record eight medals for swimming at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. The American swimmers are the highest medal takers at the Olympics. There are various other sports that are associated with swimming like synchronized swimming, long distance swimming and water polo..

My father taught me swimming years back when I was just six years old. Learning swimming by my father was quite a fascinating experience for me because my father is a state level swimming champion.
He was more like a coach than a father teaching his student how to swim. He taught me how to swim faster & skillfully & fight against the pressure of water.
I am fourteen years old now. I swim tremendously well as compared to the boys of my age. The credit goes to my father who helped to fight against my fear of water. Day by day I am trying to learn various swimming tricks from my father. I am a leader of my exclusive community team defending state champions. I enjoy swimming because it relaxes my mind/ body & keeps my mind away from stress caused due to studies.
It’s been 8 years since I am swimming. Initially when I started swimming I never knew that I would be so addicted to this sport. However learning swimming was a great fun but it was not that easy. I had injuries because I was a small boy.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Swimming has taught me many important lessons in life. You may be ranked at the top today and tomorrow you may be ranked the lowest in this fast moving sport. A true swimmer must be capable to work harder & get better with time. It is not meant for feeble minds. It is challenging all the time. You must prepare yourself to lose the game at the same time trying hard to defeat your enemy. I have a strong passion towards swimming like my father. In my summer vacations I spent more than hundred hours in the pool & made the best memories of my life.
I get up at 5 am in the morning and go for swimming for one hour daily before my school hours to train myself. I am ready to work hard to whatever extent it takes. My biggest inspiration is my parents who always inspire me carry my passion forward. Whenever I get vacations I prefer practicing swimming instead of traveling to fancy luxurious places all over the country. I find my world and entertainment beneath the water. I feel free and alive under the water.
