I'm going to talk about learning to swim. I learned when I was in middle school. It was around the first year I entered middle school, and I moved to a new apartment. It was near a gym, and I would pass by it on my way to school. I was curious about the swimming, especially the sports in the gym. During summer vacation, I decided to learn how to swim. I asked the coach to teach me. After several attempts, and after drinking a lot of water, I finally learned to swim. I could swim for meters. It was quite exciting at that moment.
