I was always afraid of water because I nearly get drowned when I was young. As I grew old, this fear was still with me. However, my attitude to water changed last summer. One day, several classmates asked me lean to swim with them, and of course, I said no. But they were quite determined and repeated explained the benefits of swimming for me. So finally I agreed to give them a try. You can imagine what scared I was when I first had stepped into the swimming pool. But gradually, I found it great funs in the water.
