Today it's the first time I can swim!!!
Yes, I believe I can swim now. Actually I studied frog swimming a few year ago in the university. But I couldn't breathe when swimming. After I take a breathe, I always sink too much into the water or choke. But today it's the first time I could breathe continuously. I just saw a girl in the swimming pool. She is very well in frog swimming. Then I decided to copy her. I tried to swim after her, do exact what she do. Of course I was clumsy in comparison to her but at least, I caught her rhythm and I improved so much. I'm really happy and proud in myself today!! I almost gave up in swimming but now I step forward and I definitely can swim well in the future if I keep to practicing.

Today it's is the first time I can swim!!!
Yes, I believe I can swim now. Actually, I studied frog swimming the breast stroke [1] a few years ago in at the university, but I couldn't breathe when swimming. After I take took a breathe, I would always sink [2] too much into the water or choke. But today, it's the first time (that) I could breathe continuously. I just saw watched {or: observed, studied} a girl in the swimming pool. She is very well in frog swimming good at breast stroke. Then I decided to copy her. I tried to swim after her, doing exactly what she does. Of course I was clumsy in comparison to her but at least, I caught {or: imitated, copied, picked up} her rhythm and I improved so much. I'm really happy and proud in myself today!! I almost gave up in on swimming but now, I step am moving forward and I will definitely can be able to swim well in the future if I keep to practicing.
- I did a reverse look-up on this term in Vietnamese because we don't call any of the swimming styles "frog swimming". Apparently, we call this style "breast stroke."
- This is a description of a condition in the past.

Today Was the First Time I Could Swim!
Yes, I believe that I can finally swim now. Actually, I had tried learning how to swim a few year ago in the university, but I was not doing it correctly and I was not able to breathe. It seemed that after I took a breath, I would sink down too much or I would eventually run out of air. Today though, it was the first time that I could breathe continuously and without any problems. I had watched another girl, who was swimming the breaststroke in the pool, and was very impressed. As a result, I then decided to copy her movements. I tried to swim after her, and to do exact what she did, but of course, I was much clumsier and uncoordinated.in comparison to her. Still, I managed to understand the importance of rhythm, both in swimming and in breathing, and it allowed me to improve so much. I am really happy and proud of myself today! I had almost given up on ever learning how to swim, but now, I know that if I step up and keep practicing, I can definitely swim much better in the future.
Hi, Phuong. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.
