For years, swimming was one of those things where I thought: “I’m not good at it, and I never will be.” That thought lingered there most of my childhood.
This all changed last year when the company I worked for announced that they were going to arrange a swimrun, a race where you partially swim and partially run to finish the race. Of course, it was a voluntary activity and I was not going to participate.
However, as the weeks progressed, I started thinking to myself. “What would it feel like to break through my comfort zone and finally face my insecurity ” To help the swimrun participants prepare for the race, the company arranged an opportunity to learn how to swim freestyle with a swim instructor. I ultimately decided to at least participate in the first swimming lesson.
I was mentally prepared to be the worst student during the lesson. However, as it turned out, I had plenty of co-workers that were equally bad at swimming. After a few swimming lessons, I even got compliments for how quickly I managed to improve. Not only had I shattered my old belief about my disability in water, but something else had started to stir. I had gotten a taste for swimming and was curious to see where it could lead me. “How would it feel like to be completely comfortable in the water ” I wondered.
I started going to the public bathhouse to practice the few tips I had gotten from the swimming instructor. I’d watch YouTube videos and try and mimic the movements by myself in the water to the best of my abilities.
Without a doubt - in the beginning, I looked like a drowning monkey. I would swim; I would sink, coughing up water, and repeat it all over again. I’d get yelled at for swimming too slow at the freestyle range. However, I focused on the process and the soon-to-be new skillset that I did not get discouraged by the slow progress nor the occasional scolding.

八、寫作示范一
第一段
The thoughts of gliding through water effortlessly was what kept me going. I would practice for hours, ignoring the soreness in my muscles and the fatigue in my body. Each time I felt like giving up, I would close my eyes and envision myself smoothly swimming in the clear water. I paid close attention to my breathing, trying to coordinate it perfectly with my strokes. Slowly but surely, I started to see improvements. The once - awkward movements became more fluid, and I no longer got yelled at for being too slow. Instead, I received nods of approval from other swimmers in the pool.
第二段
Regarding the swimrun, I eventually decided to participate. On the day of the race, my heart was pounding with a mix of nervousness and excitement. As the starting gun went off, I dived into the water. At first, I felt a bit overwhelmed, but I quickly regained my composure. When I switched from swimming to running, my legs felt like jelly, but I pushed myself forward. With every step and every stroke, I reminded myself of how far I had come. Finally, I crossed the finish line, exhausted but filled with a sense of pride. I had not only completed the race but also conquered my fear.
寫作示范二
第一段
The thoughts of gliding through water effortlessly was what kept me going. I spent countless weekends at the public bathhouse, repeating the same movements over and over again. There were times when I hit a plateau and couldn't seem to make any more progress. But I refused to be defeated. I analyzed my mistakes by watching the videos I recorded during practice and adjusted my techniques accordingly. Gradually, I became more confident in the water. I could swim longer distances without getting tired, and my speed increased significantly.
第二段
Regarding the swimrun, I eventually decided to participate. Standing at the starting line, looking at the vast expanse of water and the long running track ahead, I took a deep breath. During the swimming part, I encountered strong currents that tried to pull me off - course, but I fought against them with all my might. When it came to the running part, my lungs were burning, and my feet were sore. However, I remembered the countless hours of practice and the determination that had brought me there. With a final burst of energy, I sprinted towards the finish line. Crossing it, I knew that this was just the beginning of my journey of constantly challenging myself.
九、參考答案
The thought of gliding through water effortlessly was what kept me going. At a certain point, I hit a plateau, So, I decided to contact my swimming instructor for more swimming lessons. Under his guidance, I started to practice more by myself. Some days, I would come back seriously wondering if my body constitution was meant for swimming at all. On other days, I would feel fantastic while completing my laps. Still, there was one single thing that stood out during my practice sessions: while repeating thousands and thousands of crawling strokes, I slowly but surely started to enjoy the process of swimming thoroughly.
Regarding the swimrun, I eventually decided to participate. For me, this challenge was pushing me to my limits, as I had been utterly scared to confront this weakness of mine. The race began, and soon I was completely breathless from the physical exertion. However, I solely focused on all the movements I had been practicing repetitively throughout the summer. Before I knew it, I had finished. The swimrun had been my end goal but I already knew by then that I was going to continue swimming. I wished my childhood self could meet my present-day self to see that I was not naturally bad at swimming. It was possible to change and surpass the boundaries of my comfort zone.
