Last summer, I decided to learn how to swim. I'd always watched others glide through the water easily and hoped to do the same. At first, I was really 1 of the deep water—just looking at it made my hands shake. My biggest 2 was sinking. Every time I tried to kick, I felt like I was pulled down. My swimming 3 was very kind. She noticed my nervousness and never rushed me. She always tried to 4 me to try, saying, "Small steps count."
To build confidence, I had to 5 a float and swim alone in the shallow end first. It was a big 6 for me, but I took it day by day. I also bought a new 7 to keep my hair dry, which made me feel more prepared. I didn't 8 to be perfect, but I wanted to try my best—even on days when my arms felt sore.
After a month, my instructor let me 9 the float for a short time. I held my breath and kicked, and to my surprise, I stayed afloat! Finally, with lots of practice, I managed to 10 my fear.
Now, I love swimming and even join my friends for weekend swims at the pool.
