Polished transcript:

Male Female

To be honest, even though I love swimming, I never got a chance to learn when I was a child because I belonged to a middle-class family where my father was the only source of income and he had to pay fees for three of his daughters. Also, the school I attended didn't have a swimming class, so I really didn't get a chance to learn. However, this summer I am planning to join a swimming class at one of the universities near where I live.
