My Passion

 

SWIMMING 

Since I was child I had a dream to become a professional swimmer. But my family aren't interested with this issue like going to pool and swim. Although I didn't learn swimming but it stayed my secret hobby. When I was 22 years old I had a dream that I'm taking swimming courses, and suddenly I woke up and I contacted with my friend that gives swimming sessions. And finally I registered and started my swimming sessions. I had no idea about swimming and it was never easy. I suffered a lot and I thought I couldn't do this even I was about giving up. But my friend always encouraged me to continue swimming, also she started to swim with me other than my sessions, when I saw how she was swimming with passion in her eyes, I decided to be committed in swimming like her. She was the reason I made my wish come true (the girl in the picture is my friend).

Types of swimming

  4 important types of swimming are:

1- free style : The front crawl is likely the first swimming stroke you think of when you picture swimming. It is commonly called the freestyle stroke as most swimmers choose to use this stroke in freestyle events as it is the fastest.

2- backstroke :Your face will remain out of the water, but you will still want to be cognizant of your breathing rhythm. Again, match your breaths to your strokes.

 

3- breaststroke: The breaststroke is the slowest competitive swimming stroke, and it is the most commonly learned stroke. It’s often taught to beginner swimmers because it does not require putting your head underwater.

4- butterfly: Your legs will perform a dolphin kick, which requires your legs to stay together and straight as you kick them similarly to how a dolphin’s lower body and tail moves. Move your body in a fluid wave-like motion. The best time to take a breath will be when your arms are just starting to come out of the water, just before you begin the next forward thrust. Lift your head straight in front of you during this move and do not turn your head to the side.
