ジャパンパラ大会の前に、東京体育館で久しぶりに泳ぎました。

Before the Japan Para Games, I swam at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium for the first time in a long while.

練習で行くのはいつぶりか覚えてないくらい久しぶりでした。

It had been so long since I last went there for training that I couldn’t even remember when it was.

今までと変わらず泳ぎやすいプールで、平日の午前中でしたが、それなりに多くの人が泳いでいました。

The pool was just as comfortable to swim in as ever, and even though it was a weekday morning, there were still quite a few people swimming.

またその時は世界陸上開幕直前だったので、こんなブースもあり、盛り上がりも感じました。

At that time, it was right before the start of the World Athletics Championships, so there were special booths set up, and I could feel the excitement building.

皆さんは、世界陸上を楽しく観られているかと思います。

I hope everyone is enjoying watching the World Championships.

僕も色々な報道で出場選手の活躍を楽しみつつ、シンガポールで行われるパラ水泳の世界選手権に出場する準備をしています。

As for me, while following the athletes’ performances through various news reports, I’m also preparing to compete in the Para Swimming World Championships in Singapore.

それではまた！

Sayonara!
