 Swimming is an aquatic activity that requires the movement of arms, legs and limbs under the water, and it is
usually done for sports, recreation, survival, exercise. And competition. The history of swimming was traced back to the pre-
historic era, and this was supported with several discoveries and artifacts. Some of the examples are the pools and bath in
the Ancient Egyptian, Roman and Grecian palaces, and the drawings found in the Kebir desert that depicts people through
water.
However, it only became a competitive sport during the 1800s in Europe, which brought it to its popularity. In 1538,
Nicolas Wynman published a novel entitled “Colymbetes” that focuses on writing as a training regime for the knights. On the
other hand, histories of swimming were found in China, Sweden and Germany.
England has introduced the indoor swimming pool with a swim team which lead to the modernization of this sport.
In 1837, new set of strokes were formulated in London including the sidestroke and freestyle swimming. In 1896, swimming
became an official sport in the Athens Olympic Games that offers 100 to 1500 meters freestyle relays, backstroke, butterfly,
and Breastroke. Currently, swimming is one of the most watch sports in the Olympic Ganes since the competitive and
