It was a blindingly hot day and the humidity in the air was stifling.
My friends and I decided to make a trip to East Coast Park to let our hair down.
It has been a long time since we last met.
& , today has marks the beginning of the 2weeks holiday.
My friend vehement on a Swimming Competition.
Woahs ~ ! I was euphoric upon yet anticipated.
Four of us swam a long distance.
& unexpectedly , i Won !
They are considered my strong adversary.
But thinking back , i've been swimming regularly ( once a week ).
Unlike them . & the distance difference is far apart.
I felt a sense of satisfaction when i won.
This shows that i should at least swim once a week to maintain my stamina.
I realised that through this personal development module which wanted
everyone to set a personal goals has benefitted me.
i've learnt to be determination , persistence and has build up strong belief.
i'll practice what i've preach. :D

My Brother and I .
As mentioned , i`ll visit Delta Swimming Complex once a week.Without fails , today i visited Delta Swimming Complex again. This time round , i'm not going there alone but with my younger brother. Swimming has captured our fascination since we were young and having learnt swimming from a young age. It is without a doubt that swimming has become one of our favourite sports. It has been a long time since we last go swimming together. On our way to the swimming pool , i am anticipated to see the winner. Whoever first to complete 20laps wins. Both of us swam as fast as our legs could without stopping. Even though i was struggling in the midst , i still continued to swim. At our final laps , i overtook him and won ! At that very moment , thousands of question raced through my mind.I wasnt this energetic nor persistence whenever i visited the Swimming Complex when i am alone.
Determination , Persistence and Strong Belief pay off.
Target for the Day: To be able to swim 20laps in an hour
Target for the day is achieved (:

The afternoon sun was a blaze of heat and light.
Usually i wouldnt go swimming during this period as i'd get sun burnt!
However , i was down in the dumps.
I was feeling dolorous.
I sat on the sofa and stared into blank space.
The thought of making a trip down to Delta Swimming Complex
triggered me.
Without hesitation , i quickly get changed and
walked as fast as my legs could carry me to Delta Swimming Complex.
I flitted to the Big Pool and dived into the pool.
Even though i am swimming , i could feel my tears
flowed down my cheeks like an endless stream.
Despite feeling downhearted , i continued to swim.
Expected , i did not failed to achieve my goal for the day.
I am pleased that i managed to achieve my goal constantly
as this means that i am a step closer to my goal.
Although i was struggling when i was at my 15th laps ,
i managed to perserve and achieved my target for the day.
Target for the Day:To be able to swim 18laps in an hour
Target for the day is achieved [:

I have been coping myself inside my room for almost whole day.
Trying to complete my uncompleted assignments.
Since i have been stucked inside my room for sometimes ,
i have decided to go swimming as i am working tomorrow.
The feeling of stepping into the Swimming Complex never fails me ,
i always feel so great.
Whenever i dive into the pool , it seems to take my stress away.
I realised somehow i starts to struggle again ,
panting profusely as though i am having an asthma attack.
Without any hesitation , i told myself i have to keep going as
i have set a target for the day.
Eventually , i still managed to achieve my target.
Target for the Day:16laps within an hour.

Since today is a good weather , i have decided to make my way to Delta Swimming Complex.The sun shone brilliantly and the breeze blew gently. The moment i stepped into the Swimming Complex , i uttered a 'whoop' of joy. My face was flushed with excitement.I immediately darted to the Ladies and get changed. I walked as fast as my legs could carry me toward the pool. I did some stretching before i dive into the pool. I was over the moon and i started to swim. However i realised that after swimming for 8laps , i started to pant profusely Despite that , i did not abate swimming as i have set a goal for the day in order to achieve my personal goal by week13.I perserved and continued to swim. Finally , i managed to achieve my goal for the day. I was euphoric and I exclaimed delightedly.
Target for the Day: To be able to Swim 12laps in an hour.

My Personal Goal : To be able to Swim 30Laps within an hour.
My Reasons: Sports are an essential part of our culture.They give us an escape from the hectic life we live and a place of childhood fun. It is a time that work can be an enjoyable thing.Sports influence our lives more than it is credited for.However given our recent generations, the word sports or even just exercise has largely vanished from the dictionary of today's youths. Exercise is not just for Olympic athletes or supermodels. In fact, one is never too unfit , too young or old to do it. Regardless of our age, gender or role in life, everyone can benefit from regular physical activity. If one commited, exercise in combination with other factors can help provide an overall sense of well-being, and much else can be gained from it.
Swimming has captured my fascination since I was young and having learnt swimming from a young age. It is without a doubt that swimming is currently one of my favourite sports. However, I have stopped swimming for approximately 3months due to my daily tight schedule. i yearned to go swimming once a week like how I did when I was young.
