1. The sky was blue and clear, Serangoon Swimming Complex was as lively as always. As my mother brought me to the changing room, I saw many children and adults of all ages was enjoying the cool water splash against their face.Suddenly,a little girl accidentally swam to the deeper part of the pool when her parents were not looking and  the next moment, she was struggling in the water,desprate for air.Fortunately,her parents spotted their dear daughter and as quick as a flash, they swam at breakneck speed and carried their daughter out of the water. Although I already got over my phobia of deep waters can still remember vividly what happened many years ago that made me hail my father as the greatest hero in my life.......   2.`Yay,we are going to swimming again!’ I said happily as I packed everything I needed for swimming. I practically skipped into the car with my parents and I did not stop smiling along the way to Serangoon Swimming Complex. My parents will always find time to go to swimming with me. As usual, my parents inserted money into the machine and cards came out of it. I inserted the card into the barrier, which has a small hole. I waited for the light to turn green and pushed the bars. I ran into the changing room and waited outside for my parents to finish changing. when my parents came out of the changing room, I immediately pulled their hands together into the swimming pool. As it was a very hot day, I enjoyed the cool water splash on my body and face.3.As I was only 7 years old, my parents did not send me for swimming lessons. I normally rely on my father to carry me when we are in the pool. So when my father was busy talking to a friend he saw in the pool swam into the deeper part of the pool just by kicking anyhow and when I found out how deep the pool was, I panicked and swam towards my father. All of a sudden, my legs cramped up and could not move. I started to sink. I was desperate for air and kicked wildly, struggling to hold on to the side of the pool.Unfortunatey,the more I struggled, the more i sunk. My whole body was in the water, I could not hold my breath anymore, so water started to enter my nose, my heart skipped a beat.`goodbye,cruel world thought as my eyes were closing., sure that i would meet my maker, then I blacked out.4. When I woke up, I saw faces staring at me.’ Is this heaven? I asked myself. Much to my surprise my parents were so happy that they shedded tears of joy. When I asked them what happenedd,they said that Dad realised that I was missing and saved me.`So,Kai Zhi,do u dare to go swimming again?’ asked Dad. I shook my head ,still dizzy from the drown. From that day on, I had a phobia of water. And again, thanks to my father, he took me to swimming lessons. I was scared at first, but soon got used to swimming in deep waters. I even earned the bronze and silver certificate for swimming. From that day onwards, I hailed my Dad as the greatest hero ever, which is always my knight in shining armour.
