wer it all began....

I was of 6 years when my dad asked me what i want to do in my life,i casually replied i want to play in water,dad thought for a moment and in evening when i went out  with my dad for a walk he took me to our nearest club named Kalidas.I was really very amazed by the beauty of club.It was very huge and was surrounded by a beautiful garden.It comprised of a huge Badminton court,tennis court,squash court,karate rooms,table tennis court,huge and tidy gymnasium with Aerobic classes going parallely,two separate rooms for Billiards and last but not the least my play an olympic size swimming pool and a separate square shaped pool for diving.I was damn excited for playing in water.I thought it would be fun.My mom,dad and my twin brother we were heading towards the swimming pool.My parents were asking me and bro which colour costume we want ,we selected and directly headed towards the deep pool,the guy incharge over there scolded us.There were several coaches who use to teach the beginners and non swimmers,so i and my bro went to the a coach over there,he was already handling more then 20 kids at time the pool in which he was teaching was one of the end of the olympic size pool and was only 3 ft deep.Oh my god the water was damn cold,but any how we managed to get in then the coach instructed us to catch hold of one of the pole of the pool,we did and started kicking.We tired by next 10 minutes then he caught both of us and he made us swim and unexpectedly we managed to swim on the first day itself,beside our coach there was an old and bald coach who use to train the professionals he saw us and said that these kids have spark in them we laughed and continued.At that moment we were just making the fum of the word spark.The day ended up in a very tiring way.We use to live with our family of 10,we had a very huge house with huge balcony.The next day i got up early and prepared myself for school.Today in school i commited to my friends that i am a swimmer which i wasn't because today was my swimming test.Till the evening i had managed to prepare myself that any how i had to pass my swimming test today and there came my journey towards being a successful swimmer.I got ready for the test the coach incharge of the test said that i had to swim two rounds of the deep pool and i was scared because the very first day i swam in a pool of 3ft deep and it was shallow and the today after a day the situation got drastically changed.I swam but i was literally sinking in the pool the one of the coach saved me,this happened for more then 7 times and atlast i started crying the bald one got angry and took me to the diving height of 3 mts and left me(throwed me) i had no other option to save my life and then my legs and hands actually started working i not only swam 2 rounds i even jumped from the height and busted out all my fear and my card was signed with the stamp SWIMMER!
