Why this sport? |
"When I was in kindergarten, the first sports class with a swimming programme was going to open [at a local school]. My parents did not want to sign me up, because I couldn't swim. My cousin went to this school and I followed her. My aunt simply signed me up. I enjoyed water, and after three days I started doing well. I swam more and more, and that is how it started." |
