My favourite sports are swimming, cycling, archery and golfing. I swim the every week and have been learning swimming since I was three. I learn how to do strokes such as the freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and the sidestroke. Other than doing strokes, I also practice my water safety skills such as wearing a life vest in the water and water treading.

What inspired me to swim ?

I chose to swim as it is a great way to keep fit. It is a low-impact sport. Swimming keeps my heart rate up, builds endurance and muscle strength. Most importantly, swimming burns more calories than running.

What have I done to improve on my swimming?

Recently, I have learnt 1 new stroke, the sidestroke and 2 new water safety skills, water treading and putting on a life vest in water and how to jump into a pool safely using techniques like the straddle jump and the stride entry. I have improved on my breast stroke, my back stroke and mastered my freestyle.

Task 2 : Try a hobby or sport which is new to you and write an explanation what you have done recently to improve and develop it.

Recently, during Glamping experience at the Sarimbun Campsite, I learnt how to play archery. I enjoyed myself and I wish to play archery again soon.

I looked up archery courses online and plan to join a course to learn more about archery. I have also watched previous Olympics games on Archery and learning the technique to hold the bow and arrow properly to improve my game.
