  I love swimming. My parents tell me that even when I was younger, I would burst with happiness when I went to the beach, and I would play in the water forever.
I swam on a team for about 4 years, but quit when&nbsp;I realized it just wasn't my sport. Now, I just do it maybe 3 times a week for fun, and of course for exercise. Sometimes I hold my breath and see how far I can swim underwater, pretending that I have fins. Yes, I know it sounds childish...but my mermaid fetish knows no chronological boundaries. If I could be anything besides who I am, I would definitely be a mermaid....or a Faerie... Later.
