Blog #2 About Swimming

  Frankly speaking, I am a fan of swimming but I do not like training which means if you want me to swim continuously for about 20 minutes using four strokes periodically, I will flee from the pool, rush to my dorm and try to be passionate about studying.
  Last Thursday, there was a spring involvement fair on the Oval which I get the new from a brochure attached to my door. After I got the brochure, I plug "involvement" in google translation and try to figure out the meaning. Then I realized involvement means "Having FUN", especially under the condition of a giant public university. There will be thousands of clubs and student unions which offer chances to have fun with a bunch of other students.
  Definitely, I went to the spring involvement fair and it was fun, there was free food and beverage, students wearing different theme T-shirt introduce there club and union. I signed up a swim club named "Master Swim Club" and a "training" would be held in that evening at RPAC.
  This is my first time stepped into RPAC and  first impression is pretty good. Huge glass french windows and proper temperature. After changed my swim suits, I found a training list attached to a board near the swimming pool which said: 200 Med. Relay, 200 Free, 50 Back, 25 Fly, 200 IM, 50 Free, 100 Fly, 25 Back, 50 Breast, 200 Free Relay, 500 Free, 100 IM, 25 Breast, 100 Free, 100 Back, 25 Free, 50 Fly, 100 Breast, 200 Fun Relay. OH MY BUDDHA! Are you kidding me? My major is pre-business not swimming!
  After one and half hour, training was finished and tiredness had already invaded me. I don't feel like swimming anymore because I got cramp during the training. You may think I would give up and the truth was 

























SORRY! You are totally wrong. Faced with hundreds of difficulties and barriers in my previous life, I never give up on my first try because no pain no gain.
