My First Swim at a River Near My Area

After football this morning, we walked for about 20 minutes to a river near our area for a swim. Seeing such a large body of water up close felt special. I touched it and found it neither too cold nor too warm. It almost felt like the river had been waiting for me. Some ladies were swimming while younger boys climbed up to jump into the water. I wanted to try it too, but I decided not to take any risky stunts. I entered the river in my yellow swimming trunks until the water reached my chest.
