I hadmemory only one training ,just slapping my both foot
at inthat school when I was 5.
Myelementary school was very active about a swim.
Onlyhigh score swimmer
It waspossible to become the member
of theswimming club that school managed.
Memory of Back to '80s In the summer break,
Me andfriends had too much child s energy.
Wewent to that school s swimming club.
We hadjust too much swam again and again
in thehot days.
Afterclub ,The wind blows to the exhausted body
I cannot say but feels so nice.
Ibecame to like swim in that time.
Tensionand relaxing as experience ,
Ithink I felt like that.
Ibegun to start to do slowly
untilmy heart beat getting strong.
I tooka bit break and swim again.
Thewhistle of the rest rings
whenswimming for 30 minutes, I sits down on a bench at the pool side. The saunais open ,I wanna tried it,
butair was cold. I asked staff s woman,
"CanI use it ?"she said `It is not a sauna .. .
Theroom temperature is very lowered.'
