Swimming

Swimming

Swimming is the self-propulsion of a person through water, usually for recreation, sport, exercise, or survival. Swimmers achieve locomotion by coordinating limb and body movements to achieve a level of buoyancy and hydrodynamic thrust that results in directional motion. For example, they float to a greater or lesser extent, and move in a given direction by coordinating their forward thrusting actions, especially of their head and torso, with other actions such as stroking with their arms and kicking with their legs. Swimming is a whole body exercise that requires endurance, skill and efficient techniques to maximize speed and minimize energy consumption. Swimming is consistently among the top public recreational activities, and in some countries, swimming lessons are a compulsory part of the educational curriculum. It offers numerous health benefits, such as strengthened cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and increased flexibility.
