What is swimming?

Swimming is....

To swim is to move through water. People swim using their arms and/or legs. Swimming can be divided into several "strokes:" breaststroke, front crawl, butterfly, and backstroke being among them. The freestyle, in competition, is a swim race where you can swim any of the four strokes. Almost everyone chooses front crawl. Swimmers move through the water using the combination of other body parts. Swimmers need to be able to stay above water and sometimes be able to hold your breath for a long time. A person needs to be healthy if it wants to do it as a sport.
