Thanks for joining me!

When I first started to realize that water had more than one forms such as ice/icicles, snow/snowflakes, Jack Frost, seeing your breath, etc. I paid more attention to it simply for the knowledge of how water is useful for us. The experience I had with water I would say is when I was younger, I walked into a pool of water and slowly started to drown at the time I didn’t know that water would have that effect. Someone dove into the pool to save me after that situation my parents threw me into swim lessons as well as my other siblings to learn how to swim for that not to happen again. As we started our first swimming lesson, I got more comfortable with water also began to see the many forms that it took, there was a lot I would as so realize that as human being we would need it to survive on earth but it would be able to kill us if we did not use it correctly. It was interesting to me how you would be able to play in the water or competitively. They saw that I was getting used to the water and suggested I do competitive swimming the following year I did, I’m glad that they did. I not only learned a useful set life-saving of skills, but swimming also developed into a personal passion of mine. I swam competitively for my elementary school, swimming has been a source of confidence, a platform for socializing, and a fun way to left off steam over the years. I swam competitively for a couple of years and then decided to focus on other sports. However, I have maintained swimming as an important part of my exercise and health routine ever since. The feeling I had when I use to swim, I felt happy that I was able to do it to face my fierce head-on know that I would become comfortable with water. Excited to be in water after I almost lost my life to it, it was an accomplishment to see were I’ve started from to where I am now as a person who knows how to swim if you were to put me in water I would be fine with it to only thing that would get to me is the fact that the water is always cold. Being one of the best swimmers in my family and knowing the best swimmers in the world are master at feeling the water. Feeling or holding the water in order to gain traction and move the body forward is critical to swimming success yet can be a difficult concept to grasp and apply. Water it usually feels like a good bit of work, but this felt like the water was working with me. It felt like heavy liquid silk, and I was moving forward efficiently. Kind of like slipping through Jell-O. the water wasn’t choppy, just a little ripple. The 3 forms of water liquid, saltwater, ocean, freshwater, lakes, streams, rivers, and wells. Solid glaciers, icebergs, ice, and snow. Gas vapour in the air, clouds. Water as precipitation, exists in the same three forms liquid, rain, sleet, drizzle and solid. Water is present almost everywhere if the earth’s map is observed keenly, it is found that most of the area is blue in colour, indicating the presence of water. About 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Water is present in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ice caps, as groundwater and in the atmosphere. Water exists in different forms. Learning that there are different types of forms that water can take is amazing also the things you can do with it when it is in all different forms is so much excitement in it from swimming, skating on ice, in the winter seeing you on the breath in the cold air is very fascinating.
