IELTS Speaking PART 1: Swimming

 

 

PART 1

 

SWIMMING

 

ANSWERS

 

 

 

What’s the difference between swimming in the pool and swimming in the sea?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Based on my observation, I can swim or float more easily in the sea than in the pool, obviously, because seawater is denser than the water in the pool. Also, swimming in the sea is more liberating (making you feel free)  than swimming in the pool since it is wider and unrestricted (not limited).   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

I believe swimming in the sea is more fun than swimming in the pool because it’s not restricted compared to swimming pools, where the depth (deepness) is only limited to six or seven feet. Besides, swimming in the sea is more healing (therapeutic) since seawater can remove toxins from one’s body.   

 

 

Where do people in your country like to go swimming?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Obviously, in the sea! We’re blessed to have plenty of beaches where we can spend time relaxing and swimming. Swimming in the swimming pool is not popular in this tropical country as we prefer swimming in our beautiful beaches.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Well, in the swimming pools since, unfortunately, we don’t have great beaches in this country. Whenever we want to hold a party during summer, we often have it at a swimming pool. I wish we had plenty of white-sand beaches here like that of Thailand or the Philippine beaches.   

 

 

Is it difficult to learn how to swim?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

I think it is if one learns to swim later in life and if one has a traumatic experience with water since it’ll take so much courage, time, and effort to make him learn to swim confidently. However, if one starts learning at a young age, I think that won’t be hard because naturally, children love water.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

I believe not, as long as one has a very good swimming instructor. A very good swimming instructor can guide his students well and teach them the right breathing techniques when swimming, therefore, learning how to swim won’t be difficult, at all. I speak from experience (to talk about one’s personal experience).   

 

 

Do you like swimming?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Yes, I love swimming! Swimming is the only exercise that I won’t get tired of doing (not to feel tired of doing). Every weekend, I make sure to swim either in the swimming pool or at the beach to relieve stress and to keep myself fit.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, I do but sadly I don’t swim like a fish (to swim very capably). Although I learned how to swim, I haven’t developed my swimming skills well. I wish I spent more time learning how to swim when I was still a student because I don’t have any spare time these days. I’ve been so busy since I started working.

Julius M.

Author, IELTS Speaking & Writing Coach, Band 9.0 Speaking, First Attempt


Hi students! My name is Julius, and I'm the author of IELTSDragon. I'm a non-native English speaker who scored a Band 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test on my first attempt.


I hold a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the Philippines' prestigious state universities, and I'm a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. Over the years, I've taught English in a range of settings, including Business English to Japanese professionals at Nikkei while working for a UK-based company.


I built this website so you don't have to waste time and money retaking the exam. Every sample answer here comes from my experience as a Band 9.0 achiever and IELTS Speaking and Writing coach, written to sound conversational and natural, because that natural delivery is what gave me a crisp Band 9.0.


Use this site as part of your prep, and let's get you to your target band score.
