I remember the first day I walked into the sports park, I began to be afraid: afraid that I can not learn, afraid of the teacher splashing me with water, afraid of choking the water ...... but can not not learn, because the teacher said, elementary school students must learn to swim, otherwise can not participate in the secondary school examination. So, I walked into the swimming pool with a stiff upper lip, and my heart was apprehensive.
To teach us to swim is a young female coach. Dark skin looks very healthy, with long hands and feet, at first glance is a swimmer. At first, the teacher taught us to hold our breath on the shore, the longer we hold it, the better, at least one minute to go into the water. In the second lesson, I thought I could go into the water, but I didn't realize that I was still practicing breaststroke movements on the shore. First we practiced our feet, then our hands, and finally we practiced together. In the fourth lesson, the teacher finally allowed us to go into the water. I was both excited and scared, hiding at the end of the line. But when I really got into the water, I didn't feel scared anymore, and I even found it quite fun. The teacher first asked us to practice by holding the handle bar on the side of the pool, but I couldn't get my feet to float, so the teacher came over to help me. She pulled my feet to let me feel the balance of my body, and then slowly let go of my hands! My feet can float on the water!" I was very excited and had a few moments of success in my heart. But as soon as the teacher left, the suction between my head and the water was gone again, and I gulped down several mouthfuls of water. That raw water didn't taste good at all, and I didn't want to taste it again! So I stood alone by the pool afraid to practice anymore. But my timidity did not escape the teacher's clairvoyance, she came over and snapped my head into the water for several minutes without letting go, I was so scared that I struggled out and gasped for half a day. The teacher said: the more you are afraid of the water, the more the water will bully you. To learn to swim, you must first learn to be brave! ......
That summer vacation, I finally learned to swim and overcame my timidity. The coach's looks and words, the shade of the sports park and the sound of cicadas, and the smell of the sterilized water in the pool are, to this day, unforgettable ......
