Swim Across Sun Moon Lake 發佈於 2019-11-07 @ http://bit.ly/2X09gqX

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, more more swimming … I like swimming…"
Life vest? Check! Swimming cap? Check! Goggles? Check! OK! 可以去日月潭游泳了!

What? Swim across a lake? 你覺得游過一個湖不可能嗎? Wrong! I did it, and so can you!

Every year in September, thousands and thousands of people in Taiwan swim across Sun Moon Lake! Now it's a famous swimming event and people from all around the world go to swim across the lake!

Sun Moon Lake is Taiwan's biggest freshwater lake. You can open your eyes underwater and it doesn't hurt. 在湖裡面游泳，可以睜開眼睛。

My favorite place for freshwater swimming in Taiwan is Sun Moon Lake in Nantou!

People of all ages … from 10-years-old to 100-years-old … swim 3,000 meters across Sun Moon Lake every year.

這不是比賽. You can swim fast or you can swim slow … you just need to get to the other side.

There are lots of lifeguards watching all the swimmers … and you need to wear a special life-vest...and that's good because safety is important. 每個人都要穿救生衣，應為安全最重要!

Want to join me and thousands of other people when we swim across Sun Moon Lake next year?

You do? Ok, well … you need to be at least 10-years-old. You need to be a good swimmer...and you need to talk to your mom and dad, and they can help you sign up. 你想參加的話，可以上網報名。

3,000 meters is pretty far … but it feels so good when you get to the other side!

I felt like a hero!

3公里聽起來很遠但是你一游到對岸, 感覺好棒喔

Ok, see you next year in Nantou! We're going to swim across Sun Moon Lake.

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…."

And remember -- SAFETY FIRST!
