Swimming has never been my forte! How I wish that I can learn swimming when I was young. My mum forbids me to take up swimming lessons or to attend swimming classes organized by my school due to my history of asthma.
I love watching people doing water sports. I got so excited watching them. For example, water polo, swimming competition during olympic games, kayaking, canoeing, and especially diving.
There's this show called "Dive!!" - a japanese show that I watched long time ago, and I started to like watching the way divers dive. Its pretty cool and challenging.
I even googled on how the diving competition being judges and the points system. Its kinda interesting on how they average te points. And one of the judging criteria in diving is how smooth a diver enter the pool.
They even have their own terms on what they are going to perform for the dive. For example, 2.5 (1) pike. This means 2 and a half turns, forward in a pike position. There are total of 6 groups
(1) Forward
(2) Backwards
(3) Reverse
(4) Inwards
(5) Twist
(6) Armstand
Cool right? How I wish I can swim so i participate in these kind of water sports or activities. 😞
With love,
Syed Ridwan
P/S: I love you.
