I love swimming

I used to swim when I was a kid. At the (beginning), my father took my younger brother and (I) to (swim) in a river near where we lived. After I could swim well I often swam with my little friends in (the) river (on) summer days. (These are) good memories. But I quit swimming for about 15 years.

Being a dentist for years, the hard working hurts my neck and back. I was recommended to swim by an orthopedist. He explained that swimming can release the spine and muscles. I feel much better after swimming for several months. Now I usually swim once a week in the swimming pool. I'd like to swim in the sea(. However), It's a bit far (and is) 2 hours (away) driving.

I can only swim by breaststroke. One of my colleagues helped me to correct my postures. Also, I learned from videos. It's good fun to swim (and) you may feel as free as a fish in water.
