Swimming trance

After Olympics and especially after my trip to Sydney, I've finally decided to take Swimming classes because I've realized the importance of swimming in Sydney. I've shown much interest in taking swimming classes. Since my childhood every summer my dad used to force us(my brother n me) to join the swimming classes but we never did what he asked us to do. We normally don't take elders words seriously until we experience the bad consequences in our life which they asked us to take care of. I think I'm exceeding my boundaries in teaching philosophy [:D] Anyways with the inspiration of Michael Phelps [:D], went to the stadium for registration. Unluckily the registrations for that month (August) were closed. Again a hinderance :( I made a strong decision that I should join swimming from September. Waited desperately for the 1st of September. As usual I've lost completely in my work :( Forgot about swimming and it was already 7th of September. So on Monday which was 8th I decided to get myself registered. (The dates are not sure which I'm mentioning) Successfully registered for swimming. Guess what happened, again an obstacle on my way. Then it was a weird obstacle. Doctors in our college asked students of IIIT not to attend swimming classes. I was so angry and I thought eventhough I get anything, I loose my skin color or anything I decided not to stop joining. Just before I was planning to join that next day, few hours before going for the swimming class, we received a mail mentioning that. Finally with a great inspiration from Phelps who won 8 Gold medals in Beijing Olympics [:D] of course I cannot ever think about acheiving, I wanted to learn swimming at least. Got addicted to the swimming videos of major events like Olympics especially videos of Phelps. Really am a biggest fan of Phelps. Even am a fan of Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe who took retirement. Ian Thorpe was the first youngest male ever to represent Australia at an age of 14. Phelps declared once that Thorpe was his inspiration . When I was watching the videos of Beijing Olympics, how cool Phelps was. I suggest you to watch those clips if you ever get a chance. In every event he was so cool without any tension on his face and every time he was listening to music and coolly he takes his position and the way he swims was so amazing. The way he rolls back by hitting the other side of the pool was a very very interesting one. Anyways I'm going out of the topic I guess [:D]. After joining swimming, getting dreams that I was drowning and suddenly waking up in the middle of night. It was so terrible and now I am confident that at least I will learn well and am learning slowly. I feel that everyone should learn swimming. In foreign countries almost everyone knows how to swim. I encourage each and everyone to learn swimming which is a very helpful one and is also a good relaxation for the body. No one knows, it may save your life someday!!!


He is Michael Phelps who won eight gold medals in a single Olympics who set the world records in almost all the different events of swimming. He is an exceptional swimmer I've ever seen in my life. You can read more about him in wiki :)
