Hobby!

Today I’d like to talk about a hobby I used to have. I’ve never had a real hobby until last year.

My brother loves sports, he’s always practicing a new one but two years ago he told me that nothing compares to swimming, He highly recommended me to try it because I wasn’t practicing any sport. At first I was a little skeptical but it he seemed so happy I decided to give it a chance. Last year I went on a trip to see my aunt that lives abroad, I stayed there for around three or four months, I was spending time with my cousins and visiting the city but I was a little bored so I decided to do what my brother recommended so I took swimming lessons. It was a little difficult at first because I didn’t know the different swimming styles in English. The teacher had to show me what he was talking about, it was weird but he was really patient. The next few weeks I learnt the styles’ names so it was easy and also my swimming skills improved.

When I came back to Chile I went to another Swim School, I used to go at least three or four times a week, I loved that because I was getting faster and stronger. After a couple of months I went to another place, my mum paid a gym membership so I could go every day during the whole semester but I didn’t have enough time to go, I went as much as I could but I was barely sleeping and eating so I didn’t have the energy to swim. My membership expired on September therefore I haven’t been swimming for months now. I’m hoping to get another membership soon but it is a little expensive and I have other plans (such as spending money on christmas decorations).
