Not anymore. I was an avid (enthusiastic) swimmer as a child, but I gave that
up after high school, as it was quite time-consuming. Nowadays, I enjoy going
to the gym, running around the lake by my house, and going on mountain treks.
I’m not sure if these are considered sports, but I’m really into physical activity.
