Typical past event narrative paragraph

One summer day when I was sixteen, I was introduced to a canoeing campaign, and it was the first time that I had experienced swimming and canoeing in dam. It was a clear sunny day, when we arrive at dam people were standing in line in order to get life jacket and paddles, and when we get ours chatting and laughing we carry the boats, which was called Kayak, to the water’s edge. We went to settle in the boats and after the guardian enlightened us about the route and how to get the last stage, we started a kind of race. It was an appealing experience, while I was watching the reflection of the blue sky in water, and the ripples of water, and at the same trying to conquer the race makes me consider it as life which makes you enjoy and pushes you toward success.
