♦ My First Experience of Swimming ♦
My first swimming experience was when I was almost 12 years old. Our school had planned to go to the Gir National Park for tour. With all my classmates, I went there and we had already booked a resort in the Sasan Gir camp. After reaching there, I got to know that shallow swimming pools were also present there.
Swimming for me is like, I can't even explain I'm that much scared of water. I get suffocated in water. I never wanted to learn swimming as I knew it's not my cup of tea. I did not even go to the river in the village when my friends forced me to do so! Everyone has always been saying me that learn swimming, it will be helpful to you when you grow up and you may also need it in difficult situations.
As we had a swimming pool in the camp, a lot of students were interested in swimming, I stood aside and was watching them having all the fun. Suddenly, someone pushed me from behind and I was into the pool completely drenched up. I couldn't understand what was happening with me, the water was very cold.
I screamed out of fear please help me out. I was struggling with my hands and legs into the water around me. The water was going inside my mouth and nostrils, I was unable to breath for a while. The worst thing was that the swimming trainer was not present at the moment, one of my friends saw me struggling in water, holded my hand and brought me up.
He told me to paddle my hands and legs continuously into the water. Observing others, I also started doing the same, he holded my hands in the front and told me to paddle my legs behind. I gripped his hands tightly because I was already afraid of getting drowned. I followed his commands and after sometime, I felt like I could swim smoothly without any support.
I told him to let me try myself once, I tried but later because of nervousness, I was again all under the water. But I then myself tried to get out of it, I paddle my legs besides with my hands onto the front and I was out. I was very happy that I tried and I could say that I had learnt how to swim now!
This was indeed an unforgettable experience for me even though I couldn't learn swimming completely, but in was happy at last as my friend taught me how to swim and I tried. Later, overcoming my fear, I started going to the swimming classes with my friend and yes, I've perfectly learnt how to swim now.
