Example Description:

 

Activity: Learn to swim 
Investigation: I chose the learn how to swim because I have always want to compete in a triathlon. I like to run  and bike, but don’t know how to swim competitively. My friends that I run and bike with have signed up for a triathlon and I would like to try to compete with them.

 

My goal is to swim 500 meters without stopping and then compete in a triathlon in Honolulu on December 1st. I can reach this goal by joining a master’s swim program. The program costs $50/month. I can use my money from babysitting to pay for it.

 

Preparation: The program practices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 5-6:30pm at the pool in Manoa. The coaches provide instruction and a workout for each session. I will practice 3x/week for 7 weeks. This will take me 31.5 hours to complete.

 

My supervisor will be Coach Jane Swimmer. Her contact information is 808-123-4567. I will provide pictures and videos of me at the pool before, during, and after the 7 weeks. I will also share my completion certificate from the triathlon.
