I learned swimming when I was studying 5th, I used to go small river, it is very near by my house, My father wished to teach the technics of swimiing, I took the support of tube and slowly trying to move little bit, day by day I swimmied without tubes, without my father support too. But some times I got feared when I was alone, now I dared to swim anywhere, and who knows the time and situation any time you may face these problems, or you may help somebody. what do you fee when it will help for you?

I learnt swimming when i was in the final year of my college, i.e from jan 2007. The swimming pool was just opened in our college and i just took it as an opportunity to learn a new hobby. It took me time to learn and then it took me time to build my stamina. I never used tubes but the pool i learnt swimming in was hardly 5 feets deep. At first i would use to feel embarass where everyone was able to swim efficiently and i was not and i would just crave to swim like them. But slowly and slowly i built myslef up and now i can easily swim. I am not feared to swim alone because i am confident enough upon my swimming. I don't take it as a necessity to learn because it may help but i take it as a hobby and it just relaxes me after a hell lot of work in office for the whole day.
