If Iswam `I like it .'kind like that.
I went to swimming school in childhood.
As for the talent that became a swimplayer ,but even

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.'
I mback to the bench spent the 4minuits.
I wasnotice swim on back and forth,
thattwo course had a different light reflection.

and Igatta enjoy.
It is always surprised by the concentration
of theperson after it so .
We caught the details
thenswimming became one act after it.
I swamblest a lot.
I gaze away at the black line
of onepoint it seen straight.
Alsomy body swims straight

I feelthe movement of the muscle
thatconcentrates on the form and is not
usually felt it.
Thewater current makes the sound,
and itmixes with the my breath.
It sbody is sure floating on the water.
Myheart beat still keep balanced.
I keepswimming same pace and unrest.
Ilooking up at the clock,
almostquarter before 12,

Thewashing machine is almost finish in my house.
I get out of the pool at leave five minutes of 1 hour.
I put on my clothes front of the my space
