Efe ’ s Swimming Success !
Written by Lola McMorran and Sophie Henderson ( S3 )
Efe Eyupoglu ( S3 ) who ' s got a passion for the water . When you don ' t see Efe doing his best in French and Maths you will find him doing a spectacular back stroke in the pool . For the past 9 years , Efe has been building his skills for SAST ( South Ayrshire Swim Team ).
Efe gets to the pool at 5am every morning , except Sundays , and gets to the pool after school as well . He loves to do freestyle and goes to many competitions where he has won too many awards to count .
When I asked him for his inspiration he didn ' t even hesitate before saying , " myself ". His inspiration is himself because he has persevered through so much and given many hours to perfect his skills .
He swims because he likes it and can ' t think of a scenario without swimming . His favourite thing is that it ' s fun and a good way to let go of all your worries .
In conclusion , Efe is super talented and his achievements deserve attention .
