Swimming (by myself)

During the SAISA soccer season, which I did not participate in, I have been trying to keep my fitness up outside of school. I have been trying to swim at least once a week. To begin with, this did not always happen, but recently I have managed twice a week and even more. I have noticed an improvement in my fitness: I can now swim 1500 m without stopping, and managed to swim 3 km in a 1 1/2 hour session. I am particularly proud that this is entirely self-motivated, because I often have trouble making myself excercise on my own. Both of the life-guards, Mr. Devaka and Mr. Stanley, have been kind enough to help me set distance goals, which has really improved my endurance. Mr. Stanley is determined to see me swim 64 lengths non-stop (1600 m). I'm not so sure but I'll try and keep up some swimming (although a little less maybe) during basketball season. I'm going to try out for the team so training will leave me with less time and energy for swimming.
