Swimming

What's your favorite sport? Baseball? Soccer? Basketball? Well, mine is swimming. I have done summer swim team for five years, and currently I am participating in winter swimming, although you can swim on this team in the summer as well, so I swim both teams in the spring/summer. My favorite stroke is breaststroke, even though a lot of people would probably say it is the hardest stroke, besides butterfly which most people would classify as "impossible" unless you have the muscle and endurance. When I started it in the summer of second grade, I immediately realized that I had found the sport for me. I had tried gymnastics, soccer (which definitely didn't work for me because I am by no means a runner in any way, shape, or form.), lacrosse, and basketball, but none caught my attention as much as swimming. Just yesterday, I received a new swim bag for my straight A's (second quarter in a row, just two more to go!) which I am very excited about.
