Entrance Test
All pass for everyone even if you walk through the pool. The training is one month long, from 5:10am to 7:00am in the early morning.
The First Week
Exhausted after training everyday, but after a few days, I've gotten used to it.
Teardrops in my eye
On the fifth day, we came to 中和自強游泳池, which is 2 meters deep and 50 meters long. I tried to catch whatever I could reach, just like a drowning person. No mater how the coach encouraged me, I couldn't move forward.
Breakthrough
After 2 or 3 days, I've conquered the fear, now, I can swim in the lake, ocean, the deeper, the better.
Conclusion
As the global warming becomes worse and worse, I think, the longer you can float on water, the more chance you'll survive.
(After my speech, Elisa came to me, saying that she would like to join the training next year.)
Nadine, give me another chance to make a speech about this topic again.
Once again, I must emphasize that I'm a normal person. Don't take lifeguard as superman or superwoman.
