I Would Like to learn to swim I would like to learn how to swim. Well, in my opinion, it is a skill that I should’ve learnt during my school years since it is supposed to be a basic survival skill. In those days, our school education was just test-oriented. That was the reason why I didn’t learn it. Nowadays, when I need to learn something, especially a practical skill, I always download some video footage on the internet, and then practice according to it. THIS time would be no exception. There’s a swimming pool in my neighborhood, and I would go there to practice. In my opinion, swimming would be very difficult. Why? Well, actually it is something most people can do. I have a friend who knows how to swim once encouraged me to learn it. He said it was just a piece of cake. I have a few good reasons to learn it. To begin with, I’m married with two children. In my opinion, being able to swimming is really important to them. If I could swim, I would be able to teach them the skills. Another reason, well, I normally work out to fit, and what I always do is something like jogging, and cycling. Swimming would be an alternative way to do physical exercise.
