Swimming in the pool

I like to go swimming with my friends, at the club.

First we jog around the pool for five minutes to warm up and then we dive straight in. My favorite stroke is backstroke and I can beat all my friends at it. My friend Aatish is not much of a swimmer but comes along just for the fun. Most days he will just float on the water. We like to play marble finding. We ask someone else to throw a marble into the pool, then all of us friends swim under water looking for it. Whoever gets it is the winner.

When the attendant rings the bell we have to drag ourselves out of the water. I love swimming because I like water and it relaxes my body.
