Describe an activity that you enjoy that takes place in or near water.

 How you prepare for activity

 Where it takes place

I would like to talk about one of my favourite activities on the beach, swimming.
You know, I live in Hai Phong, a coastal city with golden beaches and the nearest seashore is
just fifteen minutes from my house. So, in the summer, my friends and I often go there and
swim in the cool water to avoid the hot weather.

Actually, swimming is a relatively easy sport. I learned how to swim when I was about 8
years old and it took me only a week to get familiar with a number of swimming strokes, like
breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Before entering the water, I often warm up and
stretch my muscles and joints to avoid any injuries, then put on my swimsuit and jump right
in.
I really enjoy swimming on the beach because of a few reasons. Firstly, unlike other water
sports such as diving or windsurfing, which require costly equipment, swimming costs
nothing. Secondly, swimming is extremely beneficial to our health. It provides an all-over
body workout, as nearly all of our muscles are used during swimming. It also builds
endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. Lastly, going swimming is a good
means of recreation as it allows me to unwind, alleviate stress and have a great time with
my friends.

Summer is coming so I’ll definitely make a plan to visit the beach soon. I intend to go to Nha
Trang beach as it’s considered as one of the most magnificent beaches in the world.

extreme sports, it’s water games that are played with equipments like the surfboards
and they need to rode through the waves. Swimming, in these types of sports,
people will have to use their arms and legs to move forward in flowing waters.
Swimming helps you to keep your body fit and healthy. I suppose that
