Six-year-old Ismail Zulfic was born without arms and used to be scary of going into the water after a incident in a pool. So that changed when the little boy met Amel Kapo. He sets up a local swimming club after noticing how disabled kids struggled to swim in pools for lack of special equipments for them. Kapo taught Zulfic swim. Zulfic was able to swim well after a little months of practice. He even won a gold medal in a local swimming competition for disabled people, finish well ahead of other swimmers. This butterfly without wings shows up that desire, will and perseverance are things that real pay off.
3 . The butterfly, which is competitive swimming’s newest stroke (划水), was developed in the mid-1930s, but it wasn’t allowed in the Olympics until 1956. The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency.
During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics, and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men’s swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles.
It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world, and one of the top US coaches – David Armbruster at the University of Iowa – began doing his own filming.
Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster. He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down, so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water. The revised stroke (he kept the breaststroke kick) brought great improvements in speed.
The following year, Jack Sieg, an Iowa swimmer, developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison (一致) similar to a fish tail. As Armbruster later explained in the book Weissmuller to Spitz: The History and Background of the Olympic Games: “Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down. Sieg synchronized his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull.” But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in the vertical (垂直的) plane.
Within a few years, nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick. The pure butterfly wasn’t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne ‘the fly’ became an official event.

Growing up, I was lucky to have parents which taught me lessons by how they lived each day. I remember walking to a nursing home with my father on one Saturday. When we arrive there, I asked him for money for the collection box. My father reached into her pocket and handed me a coin. I was embarrassing by the amount of money he gave me so I asked him for more. In reply, he taught me an valuable lesson: What is importance is the reason for giving, not how many money you give. Years late, I found out my father didn’t have any spare money give at the time, but he always gave what he could.

The best advice I received in my childhood was from my dad. He always gives me some advice, but I seldom took it seriously. One day he was encouraged me to participate a speech competition. So I signed up and after the competition, I did my best to be fully prepared. And the moment I stood on the stage, I was such nervous that my mind completely went blankly. The experience of lose a competition was really painful. Then, my dad said, “My son, life is like a battlefield. You have to lose many time to win the final victory.” Thanks to her advice, I never give up when I do anything.
