If you ask me what my favorite sport is, my answer is swimming. I started learning how to swim when I was five years old. I have been swimming ever since.
There are many reasons why I love swimming, but I'll just share a few with you. Maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim.
The first reason I love swimming is that I feel totally relaxed whenever I leave the pool. I love the feeling of floating on the water and feeling almost weightless.
On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport which raises your heartbeat. It's amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finish line. It's great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can!
Another reason that I love swimming is that it has more styles than other sports such as running and walking. It doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again.
In summer, swimming can be a nice, refreshing(恢复精力的) break! There's nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer's day. You can choose to swim in a swimming pool or in the sea.
And finally, it's a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you'll need your ability to swim.
