　　Among water sports, swimming is my favorite. There are two reasons. First, swimming can build my body. I go swimming once a week to keep myself fit. Second, swimming is an easy exercise. It is easy to learn how to swim and easy to find a place to do it.

　　I go swimming almost every day each summer. Sometimes if it is fine in spring and autumn, I’ll be very happy and go swimming with some friends, too. Winter is always very cold,so it’s not easy to find a good place for swimming. But still I can swim in a small swimming pool indoors.
