I think that swimming is the best sport.
The first reason is that swimming is fun. I think swimming is fun because I love to swim in water. When I swim I feel relaxed.
The second reason is that it gives you a lot of exercise. Exercise is good for you because it burns calories and it helps you stay in shape.
The last reason is that in swimming you don’t need a lot of equipment. In soccer you need clothes, socks, shin guards, and shoes, but in swimming you only need a swimsuit and goggles.
I hope that I have convinced you to go out and swim!
I did not learn to swim, Claire, until your Mom was three years old. Taking lessons was a challenge when you are not a chikd, but I learned to love swimming and swam for exercise when your Mom and Aunt Laura were at school. I’m so happy that you love to swim! You can swim all the rest of your life!
