I got to observe the swimming club’s practice today! I have realized there is a lot I don’t know about swimming. I only watched for 20 minutes, but they practice for 3 hours! I am not much of a swimmer but even I know that is a long time.
There are many different strokes: freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, the list goes on. Then, on top of that, they swim without using their arms; Then without using their legs! Could you imagine dragging yourself up and down a pool with just your arms? Just thinking about it makes me tired. Truly, Fuchigami-Sensei and the swim team are a very impressive group.
