Starting Swimming in Korea
When I came to Korea I was wondering to play and practice water polo, but I noticed that my sport its not popular in Seoul, so I decide to start swimming in posco to Maintain my endurance but I talked to Ms. Maria Yang if she knows about a swimming team and she said that could help introducing me the captain of the swimming team then I started to practice with the SNU swimming team and the captain told me that if I could participate in the interuniversities, every practice I felt more motivated because I will compete with excellent sport athletes in Korea.

The competition date was on Saturday October 31 and Sunday November 1, 2015. My main stroke in swimming is breaststroke, and I competed 50m and 100m winning in both races a silver and bronze medal with records in 50m in the classification race ended in 5 place with 34,55 seconds but in the final I did it a 34,33 seconds and ended in second place (silver medal), in 100m In the classification race with 1 minute and 20 seconds ended in 1st place but in the final I did it 1 minute and 19 seconds ended in 3rd place (bronze medal). It was a wonderful international sport experience to know the swimming competitions in Korea, to meet athletes, to share with new Korean friends that do what I love, and to share with my classmates of my master program that supported me and went to Daegu City.
Future Plans
Now, I will continue practicing swimming with the team and persuade the golden medals for the next year.
