Yesterday i follow my friends to the river side, they were going to swim. as i stood looking at them, their activities encourage me to also decide to swim. when i entered the river, within small time, i nearly drown . it was my friends that rescue me if not i would have been some where now. Do you also love swimming?

I like swimming but it is better to swim in the proper place. Usually we will go to a swimming pool If you go to the beach, it is better there are lifeguards there in case of any accidents.

I'm glad they saved you. Don't you swim very well? If not, you should learn! I love to swim but only in a pool. I have read too many stories about people getting bacterial infections in rivers and lakes. My DIL took my granddaughter to a lake here and for weeks she had a skin rash that made the palms of her hands kind of leathery. It did not harm her but it was a fungal infection from the lake water. So I will stick to pools. They have chemicals in them but at least no bacteria!

I learnt to swim when I was six years old.

My friends can swim for a long distance, they can swim around 2 or 3 kilometers long, I can also swim but not for a long distance
