Swimming

Swimming actually is a kind of exercise which is very much entertaining and helpful to our body. It also refreshes our mind .It is played in many countries for competition . It is very important for a person to know about swimming and its advantages.

Whether the person is male or female, it is equally important. It is also physical exercise that maintains the growth of the body as well as its fitness. It is not fresh news that many people die by drowning in pools or being swept away by floods. It is fact that these casualties occur because they don't know how to swim . Therefore it is necessary to be prepared for being safe from drowning. If we know to swim than we can save our life as well as others. Beside this, it is fun as well.

Looking at the importance of swimming, our school has provided an opportunity to swim for kids. Some of the students of grades eight, nine, almost all the students of grade ten, Seniors and overseas kids (scholarship kids) go for swimming. Every Monday and Wednesday boys go, and every Sunday and Tuesday girls go. Volunteers from abroad teach us how to swim. Last time Katie, one of the volunteers from Canada taught us girls, but now she has gone, Brandon another volunteer from Canada is teaching us.

In developed countries, swimming is consider as a skill. Since ,swimming is also included as curriculum activities in such countries, this is the right time for overseas (scholarship) kids to learn swimming. In those countries, swimming is common and everyone can swim. If one cannot swim than she or he will feel like he\she is isolated. Hence,it is very important for each and everyone to learn it.

By now we have learne a lot. For that we are very grateful to the school managemen and we are also heartily thankful to Katie and Brandon for teaching us swimming. We hope we can pass our swimming skill to the little ones.
