              I went swimming and climbing with my house mate and two friends. First, we went to the pool at main campus whose length is twenty five meters one way. It was very good because nobody was there, only us, and it costs only three dollars. Although outside of the water was cold because of outside pool, the temperature of the water was not bad; it was about eighty degrees. Three of us were a swimmer when we were young. Therefore we competed by several styles. My house mate and I are boys and my friend is a girl, so we boys got handicap for her, which was to let her start five meters ahead. In almost all of competitions, I couldn’t cover five meters handicap although I swam hard. Then, I felt my body became old. However, it was so fresh and very exciting because I didn’t swim for two months. As a total, we enjoyed swimming for two hours. Then we went climbing after lunch. It was the first time to try climbing for me. It looked easy, but it was, in fact, so difficult. My hands got painful because I had to grab something to climb the wall. I could finish only low level wall.

I like swimming and I got new experience of climbing that day. Hence, it was really great day for me I got muscular pain on whole body, though.
