My Great Community

I will write about my great community. I was a member of swimming club when I was a high school student. I was used to go to the pool after school. We had swum since April. It was so cold but we had to swim in the cold water. Besides, the training was so hard. However, I didn't quit the club because I loved swimming. I started to learn swimming when I was six years old. I had a dream that I want to swim with dolphins. That's why I started to learn to swim. I mean that I could keep trying because I love swimming!!

The swimming club taught me two important things. At first, your efforts will pay off when you don't give up. I swam so hard at that time. We swam at least for two hours, 2000 meter, in a day after school. Even in April, we got into the water. Of course, it was not easy to finish but we could complete training menu everyday without giving up. All of us set our goals. We really wanted to get best time at the competition. Competition is the change to get new record. We know how glad to get the best time, so we kept effort. Sometimes, we couldn't achieve our purposes, but we could get something else, such as patience, forwardness, and so on. It is the power to go to the next step. It is more important than winning or loosing. I mean never giving up is nessesary thing to grow myself.

Second, The swimming club gave me a lot of friends. My swimming club member was funny and always possitive. If they lost the game, they practiced harder and harder. In the club time, we are good friends, but in the competition, we are rivals.I had to compete with them. We could boost the morale each other. All of friends swam so hard every day, so I could swam every day. I could kept trying because of them.

Most of people think swimming is individual sports, but we have also relay. We need team work in the relay. Even if only one person fail, the team is disqualified. Therefore, we practiced many times together. We encouraged and indicate each other what the bad point is. I could learn about importance of cooperartiopn through swimming training. I mean swimming club member taught me the importance of encouraging each other and cooperation.

In conclusion, I talked about importance of never giving up and friends. These are neccessary things for my life. I could get these tresure in the swimming club. If I were not join the club, my life would be boring. I am not member of swimming club now, but I always work hard to archive my goal without giving up now. Bwsides, I go to eat dinner with the swimming club member sometimes even now. I feel our friendship will have kept forever. I will cherish these tresure in my life all the time.
