1. HOW SWIMMING
CONTRIBUTES TO MY
DEVELOPMENT

2. A Glimpse of My Past
Swimming gives me lesson for life, a couple which I’d like to share, right from my
childhood…
Young and energetic,
swimming was a hobby I enjoyed
I tried to learn a thing or two,
But never got enough,
To ever be a heroine in the water
But jump I did, into the water,
and good fun it was, then
Lesson 1: Growth and development take time, one can hardly be an
expert in a day, a week or a month, yet this is no excuse to kill your dream.
Learn the little you can, when you can, and enjoy the process

3. Putting Purpose into the Pool
Points of preparation for the journey to a successful future
I’d hoped to be an expert,
and compete in high school,
But there were many
better than me,
and the team trained
to build up speed,
not to teach armatures.
I opted for basketball, where
I made the first team easily,
and enjoyed it
Lesson 2: Be quick to spot your strengths and weaknesses, as well as
opportunities available that suit you, to ensure you make the best of any
situation, and enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

4. Time-out…
”… he … departed, and went and hanged himself”. Mathew
27:5
So I kept the battle
on hold, with the
promise to fight
another day, when I
am all strong, and
well prepared,
unsure of when this
might be
Lesson 3: Take
time to strategize
and build your
armory. Sometimes
one needs to stop
for a gas refill, or
rejuvenation, so as
to surmount the
challenges ahead

5. Breakthrough – There’s time for everything
“…XXXXXXXXXX” Mathew 27:24-26and han
Two years back, I got membership to a
sports club, and met a swimming
trainer/life saver, who knew how best to
coach me
And so I took up swimming again,
acting like an armature, with no idea of
where to start, or how to move
Neither rain nor cold, would stop me
from a 6am swim daily right before
work.
Keenly I listened, and lots I learned, from the right strokes for different
swimming styles, to the appropriate breathing techniques, and the swiftest of
motions for speed and agility.
Lesson 4: Victory belongs to those who make hay while the sun shines. Do
what it takes to succeed, when the opportunity at last unfolds.

6. My Daily Pool Experiences

his sweat was like drops of
blood…” Luke 22:44
