Project 2: Profile of a Campus Organization
My favorite sport is swimming, it has been my favorite sport since I was a child. Currently I am looking forward to motivating people to like swimming, because swimming is an excellent activity which keeps one healthy and fit. According to World Health Organization, “Lack of physical activity is a significant risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Less people in different parts of the world are not taking physical activities seriously. Globally, 23% of adults and 81% of teenagers are not active enough” (Echeverría, 40). Swimming is one of the best sports in the world, and two thirds of the people in the world like to swimming. In order for one to be able to swim, he or she needs to visit a place which has a swimming pool (VanderMeer, 23). The University of Arizona however, has a special swimming pool and a famous swimming club, where both the members of the club, and the students go for swimming.
The University of Arizona has an excellent swimming club, since the club has both a gym, a Sauna and a swimming pool (Echeverría, 41). This is my favorite club at the University of Arizona, since its facilities are good, and the services offered are also good. In addition, the water in the swimming remains at its constant temperature regardless of the weather changes and the change in seasons. The pool has a 20m racing track, each track has its own depth, and it is therefore the decision of the swimmer to choose the track which he or she is comfortable with. The water in the pool is usually recycled after each and every day’s swimming activities, this therefore ensures the safety of the swimmer, since the water is regularly treated before people are allowed to swim. The University of Arizona’s swimming club is a highly competitive collegiate club team, which has been operating for the past 15 years. The activities in the swimming club are divided into two seasons, which are the spring and the fall semesters (Kennedy, 60). Meanwhile Swimming team in the swimming club, has a very great history, since it has been able to win a lot of words in different championships. They team therefore hopes to grow, and be able to achieve greater heights. .However, they do their routines based on the distribution of the commitment, skills and levels. They practice three to four times a week at the university of Arizona campus recreation pool. There are many professional coaches who are responsible for coaching them (Echeverría, 43). These coaches therefore help in providing the best swimming skills, hence helping one in being able to effectively swim without any problems. Different swimming techniques are therefore taught, such as the back stroke, which can also enable to become a professional swimmer who can be able to participate in major swimming competitions.
If people want to more profoundly acknowledge swimming club, then they can visit the swimming club’s website. The website provides a lot of information concerning the Swimming club and the activities offered in the swimming club (VanderMeer, 24). Moreover, the swimming club also has a Facebook page, where the management posts a lot of events which are taking place in the swimming club. For example, sophomore Betta, is an Italian, who is also my favorite swimmer, she is therefore in the school to study molecular and cellular biology. She is not only good at swimming but also she is good at biology, where she has majored in molecular and cellular biology. Swimming club is a great family including practice and studying place. After one finishes practicing, then he or she can study together with his or he friends at the club (Kennedy, 61). Secondly, the swimming club usually also posts a lot of videos of the swimming events taking place in the club, those attracting more people to join the club.
As a member, I have the authority to swim as more as I like, with other students who are also members of the swimming club. The university has a swimming organization which is my favorite organization since it enables students to be able to be able to swim guaranteed they become members of the club. Our swimming organization is so sophisticated and versatile that it contains all aspects related to swimming. If I want to improve my swimming skill I can hire a private coach to teach me. Moreover If I feel uncomfortable during swimming, I can consult with the professional doctor in swimming team .If I want to swimming with my friends, I could also reserve a special lane for which we have the freedom to play or make a small swimming competition without considering interpreting others (Kennedy, 61). Sometimes the swimming team also would play movies for students for all students for University of Arizona where we could lying on the floater in the swimming pool. It is a really relaxing and fun recreational activity for me.
From my perspective, Swimming is the best sport in the world. When people swim they exercise the whole body including arms and legs as well as lung (Echeverría, 47). The lung is the extremely indispensable organ for people, since it is the pillar of respiratory system. For people who need to improve their breathing rates, swimming is the most effective and prevailing method (VanderMeer, 24). As for me, I smoke a lot, and since it harms my lungs, swimming is therefore the best remedy, as it allows me to be able to control my smoking habits, while conducting a very effective exercise.
I interviewed my friend named TIANYI Chen about swimming. He is really good at swimming and is really proficient in swimming theory and skills. He therefore gives me lots of constructive advice for swimming (Ferraresi, 50). He likes swimming because swimming gives him robust body and keeps him in fit. His hometown is located near a sea, going to the beach and swimming in the sea is really convent for him. His mother sent him to the swimming club and where she also hired him a personal trainer, while at the age of 10 years. As soon as he jumped in the water, he enjoys the water the same a fish enjoys swimming in water (VanderMeer, 27). Yang Sun is his favorite swimmer, Sun Yang is a Chinese Olympic and a world record holder he is a very competitive swimmer. In 2012, he became the first Chinese swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming. In 2016, he became the first swimmer in history to have an Olympic gold medal in the 200, 400, and 1500 meters freestyle events. Sun is the most decorated Chinese swimmer of all time, with a total of 26 medals. What i admire most about him is his persistence and perseverance, ever since he joined the swimming club, he hasn’t miss any of the practice and he keeps exercising everyday no matter how busy or tired he is. As Thomas Alva Edison said, Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration. His favorite swimming position is free style. I saw him practice once, I was deeply impressed by his calmness. According to him, the trick of being so calm even if he falls behind his opponent is concentration and confidence (Echeverría, 50). Be confident of himself, trust himself, never give up and fight until the last moment. There is no doubt that swimming as a career can become difficult and frustrated sometime, luckily, he has supportive family and teammate who are willing to try everything to cheer him up.
In the nutshell, I enjoyed this experience that I join in swimming club. Not only can I be able to make a lot of friends who come from different countries, but I can also be able to learn new swimming skills.
