Swimming!

Does any one knows when was swimming introduced to the public?? Well, according to the Wikipedia, swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times; the earliest recording of swimming dates back to Stone Age paintings from around 7,000 years ago! Long aye? However, the first book about swimming was only written about 432 years ago by a German professor and the first swimming competition was held about 210 years ago =D

My first swimming experience was when I was about 4 years old, I used to have this mini swimming pool in my house. However, grandpa was afraid that his little ones might fall into the pool one day and drown. So dad have no choice but to filled up the pool and make it into another car porch. Sad huh? =( oh well, we still got to head down to nearby, big public pool all the time =D

So yeap, ever since then, my favorite past time have always been swimming. Luckily, there is a heated pool in Dunedin that I can go to. Though we need to pay to go in, but being able to go at least once a week already makes me a very happy girl =D
