I have a passion for swimming, coming from Libya, my country which is in North Africa and at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This means Ive been at the beach almost every day. I moved to Malta at six years old, and my dad taught me how to swim at a young age. I saw how much of an advantage it was to be capable of swimming at a young age.
