Band 9.0 Sample Answer

 

I’m not a great swimmer in any sense, but swimming is like my religion. It is truly refreshing and literally washes away every disturbing thought I have whenever I dive into cold water. No matter how tight my schedule gets, I usually pay at least one visit to a local swimming pool to work myself up and get rejuvenated. Sometimes, I have a partner or two who have been my best friends since high school.We live in the same neighbourhood, so it’s not too stressful when we have to set a schedule for our swimming session. We carpool more often than not, and It takes us roughly 15 minutes to get to the local recreation centre, where It provides the locals with a variety of facilities for training purposes, such as a gym, class, stadium, swimming pool, tennis court, and so on, which is extremely convenient for those who practice more than one activity. The only thing better then swimming itself is swimming with your besties, which is one of hundreds of things I love about my weekly ritual. Hardly do we have time to meet each other. During weekdays, as we’re all up to our necks at work and totally stressed out.Therefore, having such a healthy way to catch up with my friends and recharge battery life after an exhausting week never sounds better. Just like any other sport,swimming helps maintain your health, keep you fit, and build your endurance. However, unlike others, it’s a very relaxing and peaceful form of When you exercise, you don’t even sweat for hours—a supreme advantage. Therefore, if you're looking for a kind of sport that brings you comfort and relaxation, swimming should be your first choice.
