Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

My favourite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have

been to the swimming pool at least twice a week ever since.

You don’t need much special equipment if you want to swim – only a pair of

swimming trunks if you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl.

When you start you may like to use a ring or some water – wings.

How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and

some parents even though their six – month – old babies to swim. It is just a good

idea just to play ground in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the

water. Try to find a good teacher. You must learn to your balance in the water and

then your teacher will show you how to move your arms and legs so that you can

move along smoothly and easily. As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will

quickly start making good progress.

Most people learn to breaststroke first and then go on backstroke and crawl.

After that, you can learn to dive. Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go

to the pool. I am particularly interested in swimming faster than anyone else, but I

love trying to dive as gracefully as possible.

Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all muscles in your

body. I would recommend anyone at my age to take up swimming as a hobby.
