Swimming Is My Passion

Thursday, January 28, 2010



I am quite free now so i want to say about my swimming as a sport. :)

Erm.. how would i start off?? Let me think...

Ok.. I will start from my first coach(jack lee). I learn swimming from him since i

was pri 4 or 5 but i had stop after i master my breaststroke. On the year 2006,

decided to take up swimming as my sport. So i go back to find my coach(jack lee) and

he teach me all the 3 other strokes that i havent learn. After i master my 4

strokes, Jack Lee ask me to take up lifesaving as it can earn some pocket money for

myself so i decided to take the course. After i pass my lifesaving course, i will

proceed to take up S.I which is Swimming Instructor. :) I am now taking the course

but i fail my theory so the retest i will try hard and study hard for it. After

swimming with jack lee like 1 year, i saw one swim team which are more like

competitive swimming and i told myself that i want to train under the swim club

which is SWIMKNIGHT. :) After my coach throw me to another coach which is Coach

Edmund, i find that the club is totally different from other swim club. Other swim

club is only coaches and swimmer, like for us is like one big family. We will have

like an sk outing, land training, going for movies with our swimmates and also going

overseas to have a friendly meet. Last year we had a overseas trip to Philippine for

friendly meet and also went there to chill and relax ourself. :) And also Our

swimmer parent are also outgoing, friendly and also supportive of swim club. I makes

friends with my swimmates and some of them are quite close to me. :)

Oh well, This year end of feb is my last year of swimming competitive because i am

gonna focus for my sport management in higher nitec at simei ite. Although i quit sk

doesent mean i will not swim anymore. I will still swim and keep my body healthy

and also my cutting of my body. haha... Seriously i cant bear to quit sk. :( Never

mind, i will still go their outing and also land training during the school

holidays. :) So somehow thats my swimming life in sk. :)

Swimming motivation and poem?

You live for the way you celebrate when you get to do a set with fins. You live for

the way you become a family with your team, and no one understands what happens

within that pool or locker room, but you. You live for the countless songs you sing

in your head when your swimming those laps. You live for the people who scream at

you while your swimming even though all you hear is BLAH BLAH BLAH. You live for the

competition, you live for the friends, you live for the practice, you live for the

pain, its a part of you. You are a swimmer.

It's something that no one else really understands because they haven't felt the

felling you get every time you step up on the blocks, that swimming isn't just a

sport... it's all the friends and coachs over the years, all the practices and

inside jokes, all the memories, all the fun times and all the roadtrips,

because swimming is more than just a sport..."
