2-year-old Girl, Great Fan of Winter Swimming

 
In an indoor swimming pool on Yuexiuzhong Road, Shen Chenxi, a two year old girl, was swimming this morning whilst the temperature outside reached only about 5℃~6℃. For little Chenxi, 30 minutes of swimming a day has become her daily routine since her family discovered her talent.

The little girl is too young to swim properly so she just paddles with both hands and feet, advancing slowly but surely, swimming over 60 meters each day. "On a hot day she'll stay in the water even longer," says Chenxi's grandmother who accompanies the child to the pool every morning.

When asked how to she copes with staying in the cold water for such a long time, the little girl answers that the key is to "keep on moving."

 
Little Chenxi is now only 2 months to go to turn to three. She has been living with her grandmother since she was born in Guangzhou.

"I want her to be healthy instead of being an athlete." Her grandma was proud to tell the reporter that the little girl seldom gets sick after swimming everyday.

On March 25th, the girl is to go to Hong Kong for the Three-Year-Old Children Swimming Competition.
