凡珊珊

One hot Sunday I decided to go swimming with some friends in Foling Lake in Dongguan.

After reaching the shore, I found the lake was wide and the water was deep.

I could not help but worry because I had not swum since I was 6 years old.

"Just have a try." My friends encouraged me. Then I tried to move my feet into the lake with extra care.

When I came into contact with the water, it was comfortable, as if the water was trying to reassure me. The sound of young girls and boys shouting in excitement and splashing made the idea of swimming all the more enticing.

My friend and I decided to swim across the lake. We swam in line and encouraged each other. Finally we got to the opposite bank, exhausted but happy.

Swimming is a joyous sport. I had a lot of fun that day.
