Swimming

I jump in, headfirst into the water. As I dive in my body is engulfed in cold water starting with my head all the way to my toes. Wishing I was in more open water, I open my eyes and swim along the floor of the pool. When my breath runs out, I push against the floor and arise for air in a large splash.  

I think I’m so passionate about swimming for many reasons, but one of the most important ones to me must be that I don’t need anyone else. Usually, I don’t like to talk about my passions around others. Usually Because of my dislike of being watched, I usually take part in fun actives when nobody is watching or around. Although I tend to seek solitude, sometimes I enjoy having the company of others, such as my siblings to have contests such as largest splash when diving. I learned to swim at around the age of four but quickly forgot, seeing as how it terrified me. 

Another thing I find great about swimming is that It’s something I could do for hours. I used to fear water but now I Love to be underwater. Despite my past experiences with water, I still love it. I like how it feels to be under water, my hearing is warped, and everything is blurred. Something about the water just makes me feel alone and Isolated from everyone. The way I can just drift along while doing nothing could leave me to my thoughts and possibly brainstorm a few ideas for what to do next when it becomes too late to be outdoors. The way I could be going from so hot in the sun to cool and refreshed under water shocks me. 
From all my experiences with water, the good and the bad as a whole, I still love to swim. If i hadn't grown up with it I would find myself in a room by myself every day.  I think I would be nobody. It's the only thing that i do that isn't on a screen that I like to do. I've tried many other activities and sports but never found them nearly as enjoyable. With it being something I can do alone, get some sun, and moving around, I find it as one of the simple things that make me happy, yet also my passion.
