Are you good at sports or more precisely, do you think you are a fast learner?

I do see some people who are very fast learners and take to the pool like a fish in no time when they go swimming. There are some who just am not able to "get it". I personally learn swimming on my own by watching others at the pool when I was 8 to 9 years old and have been able to swim since.
I think picking up a sport at a younger age is definitely better as one is more flexible and able to absorb new teaching methods faster. Definitely when hand eye coordination in racquet games is needed! 
How about you? Are you good at sports like racquet or ball games and did you take a long time to pick up the game.

hi Hatley, swimming is absolutely fun and relaxing besides exercising every aching bone. I certainly won't expect you doing basketball or bowling although cyberly you may do so, haha. In fact, nowadays, you can enjoy vicariously through WI (that is simulating the action like a real game).
Chess will certainly keep the brain juices flowing besides scrabble and other board games. Keep it up.

I am great with softball. I play for a charity leagues every summer for the last 8 years. I think what makes me so great is that I am track runner as well.
My speed sure helps even when I bunt the ball.

hi hwg, whoa speed definitely helps besides height, reach and stamina. Somehow, playing with a team is quite fun and playing every summer for 8 years is quite a feat in itself.

I think Im pretty good in sports. I can play any kind of sporgames. Like: football, volleyball, basketball, hockey. Even swimming and running. In running my the first in my class and in swimming about 3th place or somewhere there. But what I can play the most is football. Ive been playing football since I was about 6 or 7years old.
I played it with my good friend, but when he had to move to the other city I started to go practise. And I'm still playing it - about 10,5 years now.

hi triondem, seems like you are quite a sporty person with quite good skills too. I know of persons who have 2 left feet with bad sense of shooting.
