One advertisement that actually caught my attention was this swimming course program. It was being arranged by Youth Club which is located in Goshan. I was in elementary school back then and I was just taking a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends friends when I saw this poster hung up on a wall and they were providing a discount for the fee, for the course fee and I was actually feeling ecstatic after taking a look and I immediately brought my friends over so they could have a look as well. We dialed the phone number that was given in the poster and we talked to the guides at Youth Club and then after discussing it with our parents we decided to get enrolled into this course. And like the time there was actually quite fun for us like as all of the friends decided to join this swimming course together and mind you like before that we did not know how to swim. So we had to eventually learn it, otherwise we could never actually enjoy any water activities as there would always be a fear of drowning. And in fact, like on this token of drowning, one of my friends did not realize that a part of the swimming pool was actually deep. So without even knowing the fact, he jumped straight into the pool and was unable to even touch the floor with his feet. So at that moment the trainers and we even tried going near him and eventually a trainer managed to pull him out of the deep zone and he was scared, like really scared and reasonably so. And it was one memorable experience because it was actually scary to be honest. And yeah, that was one advertisement which caught my attention and eventually led me to learn how to swim.
