Swimming was a sport my parents introduced
I decided to get myself excused
I was scared of getting into the water
I said I will join the class later
I thought I will falter
We found a master who was very kind
He took the fear out of my mind
He taught me slowly
How to float correctly
I took baby steps to float
I felt I wont need a boat
I felt like a fish
Moving its tail with a swish
I learnt different strokes
Along with many other folks
I learnt to swim along
I knew it will help me become strong
Now I am ready to face my friends
In a swimming race
