Since my childhood, I've always dreamed of swimming like a professional. I remember watching professionals swim really fast, and they motivated me because I gained some weight as a child and felt insecure about it. At Lake Balhash, during what I can call a vacation, my mom suddenly started teaching me how to swim, and I achieved swimming on my back. That was the easiest way. Then I went to the central swimming pool in my town, and my coach, named Alfarabi, helped me swim. I faced challenges competing with other girls and guys who were really good at swimming, and I felt like I was a little pig who couldn't even swim. But now, after three years, I can swim as well as I wanted to. I never dreamed I could do this as a child, and now I can.
