What's the correct way of saying "I went swimming this summer."?

Postby Fynriel » November 3rd, 2015 2:23 pm

Beginner here, so please don't judge me too harshly, but here's my pitch:

[ぼく は] ことし の なつ やすみ に うみ へ およぎ に いきました。
[Boku wa] kotoshi no natsu yasumi (ni?) umi e oyogi ni ikimashita.

Assuming I got the general idea down, I'm not sure whether I need a "ni" after the declaration of time here.

Fynriel san,
Konnichiwa. :)
That sentence is perfect!
Yes, you should put that ‘ni’ after natsuyasumi.
