Pre BMT Self Training.
One more week 29th July 2010, I will be enlisting to Army Pulau Tekong School 4.
So 1 week prior to enlistment, I have to do some training to prepare myself for the 9 weeks training in BMTC.
I also heard from my Friend that when in BMT, we are supposed to swim Breaststroke from one end to another so as to qualify Swimming.
I been to Swimming complex twice since last week and this week. Everything were alright and I've kind of picking up some little techniques fast for techniques like trekking water? Also brushing up my Breaststroke Technique as well as my stamina to swim from one end to another end.
Today, one of a frightening incident happened. I met my Buddy Warren since we last met around March. We went Gymming and after that we went to Swim as I want to practice my Breaststroke. We were at a some sort a Beginner pool where the whole pool itself is only like 1.2M or 1.4M I couldn't remember clearly.
Then later I wanted to switch to the Olympic Standard Swimming Pool where in the middle part of the pool will be the deepest with around 1.8M or 2M depth. I stand only 1.745M. I want to try out swimming Breaststroke again because last few days I am able to trek in the middle of the pool where the deepest point is. But last week was lucky because I swam near the side of the pool where I can trek water and get near the wall. But for this time round I swam at the wrong side I swam at the Middle Range.
I swam until slightly after the middle point, I kinda out of breath I guess because maybe my Breaststroke Techniques is not right so my breathing isn't right too or maybe not experienced enough.
I was trying to sink myself down until my feet touches the bottom and push myself up but it kinda I couldn't sink. Helplessly I kept on kicking the water and moving my hands so as to trek the water and keep myself up to breathe. But all like too Gan Jiong, my trekking like not very effective where my head barely stay above the surface of the water to breathe. I drank quite a lot of water then.
Luckily one of a lifeguard spotted me, and he was trying to confirm if I am really stuck in the middle of pool helplessly with his eyes. He takes around 3 to 5 seconds to confirmed that I really in need of float and help. He ran over to the nearby float and threw it to me. But it's kinda 1 metres away from me and I couldn't grab it because I am helplessly and busy trekking water. Within 5 seconds after the float is threw to me, there comes a GOD. He swam towards the float coming from the back of me and pass the float to me. While I grab hold of the float, he pull me and the float to the end of the Swimming Pool. While he pulling he asked, "Are you ok?" Like so Godlike and I replied, "Yeah, THANK YOU!". I Thanked Him and later I didn't see him around or maybe he is around but maybe I am too shocked from what had happened earlier on to notice where he is actually standing. I think he is one of a Swimming Instructor for Children.
In future have to Think before Act. For not experienced Swimmer please train and practices at a Swimming Pool which is not Deep until you are Better or very Skilled then you can try the Olympic Stardard Swimming Pool.
It's no fun and joke when you are about to get drown.
THANK YOU GOD, THANK YOU LIFEGUARD AND THANK YOU THE MAN WHO SWAM TOWARDS THE FLOAT AND PASS IT TO ME.
THANK YOU!
I will and I must Be Careful in future.
I have to practice more.
This lesson taught me Safety Measures are important.
