Model Answer 1:
Swimming is really a very good exercise and essential for keeping a good 
health. So, I regularly swim at the local swimming club here in France. The club 
comes up with some special facilities to its swimmers. It is a great opportunity 
indeed to share the experience.
This is an outdoor and public pool and provides with the required facilities for 
the local swimmers. But to practice swimming at this pool, one needs to follow 
some strict rules and regulations. The pool ‘Piscine Municipale’ is located at 
the Avenue Jules Grec in Antibes in France. This is a spacious swimming pool. It 
is a few minutes’ walk from my place. So, I usually visit this pool at different 
times of the day. A notable number of people use the swimming pool regularly, 
and this remains crowded round the day. The changing rooms and showers 
also appear admiring to me. 
Being a public swimming pool, it is always crowded. If you want to use the pool 
perfectly, you will need to move in some specific time of the day. Early 
morning is the best time to move for the swimming pool. Earlier, I used to go in 
the evening and experienced some unusual situations. I have found a large 
group of people in the pool and they are passionate about swimming. The 
accommodation was really difficult despite the pool being a spacious one. 
After that, I go swimming early in the morning. It is convenient for me. I swim 
for around one hour. But when I have to attend my class at the university, I 
swim in the late evening hours – though it is difficult for me to occupy a 
swimming space at the pool at that time.
Usually, I go alone for swimming. But sometimes my younger accompanies me. 
He is also a great swimmer and swims well than me. I, in fact, has taken 
swimming as a way to keep myself fit. I have to remain busy round the day 
with my academic studies and projects. So, I cannot manage time for other 
physical activities. We all know that health is wealth. It is wise to do some

physical movements for a better health. Besides, physical exercises also help to 
keep the mind fresh. Hence, I decided to swim. Sometimes, during the evening 
hours, I ask some of my friends to accompany me on the pool. They also come 
with me but cannot continue swimming for long as they have not practised like 
me. I took my dad one morning to swim, and he was happy after the event. But 
he also is unable to manage time for his occupational engagements. As a 
result, I move for swimming by my own and I welcome if someone 
accompanies me.
This is a favourite location for me for some reasons. First of all, this is a very 
spacious swimming pool. I also do not need to pay any charges for using the 
pool which is another advantage for me (certainly I would have paid if they 
asked for). Besides, this is the nearest swimming pool from my residence. 
Hence, I do not need to use my car to reach the location. Parking is a bit 
troublesome here, and I am not to bother for that. Another advantage of this 
location is that I can be here at any time of the day. Based on all such reasons, I 
prefer this location too much though there are many other options left for me.
