Polished transcript:

Male Female

My school organized a swimming program for students just last summer. Swimming used to not be required at school, but the number of accidents involving students who don't know how to swim has increased recently. I think almost all students require this skill. Because I'm not really into sports, I haven't had a chance to attend any sports activities. I was really excited, but quite nervous because I thought swimming was really hard and that I couldn't do it. It felt like stepping out of my comfort zone. I was really interested in putting on the swimsuit. It was challenging, but then I met a very friendly and kind teacher and received a lot of support from friends. Finally, I was able to swim with interest within a week. It was really impressive to me and has become a lasting memory because I learned a new skill in a short time, and I could even do it with my friends. I'm not going to come across something that I can do with any other students related to swimming.
