| been on earth and where ever there is water people | | | | be moving through the water fast if you swim |
| are going to be swimming. It was first done in Egypt | | | | correctly. With your arms moving and going forwards |
| and then just started getting more and more popular | | | | with your hips moving you are going to be moving at a |
| and we have the sport as we have it today. Many | | | | good pace. |
| people didn't think that swimming started until the 1900s | | | | You should be able to swim fast if you are a swimmer |
| well at least competitive swimming anyways. | | | | and if you cannot them you are not a good swimmer. |
| The water and liquids in your body are not denser the | | | | Swimmers that compete are swimmers who have |
| water because then you wouldn't be able to float and | | | | been swimming their entire lives and are the ones who |
| swim. This is what allows you to swim is all your | | | | actually know how to swim with ease and good. You |
| insides being lighter then the water which allows your | | | | are going to want to use as less oxygen and force as |
| body to get to the surface if your liquids were denser | | | | possible so you can have speed breaks and go for |
| then water then you wouldn't float you would sink and | | | | sprints when you are swimming. If you give it all you |
| that wouldn't be swimming. | | | | got at the start then you are not going to be able to |
