1. Is warm-up, stretching and cool-down also important in swimming? Why or Why not?

To reduce your risk of injury, you must warm up properly. Swimming, which involves
huge groups of muscles, necessitates efficient motions and a low heart rate to avoid
exhausting the body. Stretching is an essential aspect of any swimming workout. It
promotes athletics, increases flexibility, and protects against injury. Stretch all of the
major muscle groups before you swim, as swimming is a full-body workout. Cooling
down is particularly crucial for swimmers since it aids in the regulation of blood flow.
Following your workout with some cool down exercises allows your blood pressure to
gradually recover.

2. Enumerate and describe each equipment used in swimming.

 Swimming fins - Fins are swimming fins that are worn on the feet. They are most
typically utilized by divers who are exploring deep waters when scuba diving or
snorkeling. Swimming fins can also be used in the pool to help swimmers improve their
kicking technique.

 Goggles - Goggles allow you to see underwater, which is useful in crowded pools or
when swimming laps and needing to see turns, walls, and barriers. In the water, goggles
protect your eyes from the chemicals used to clean the pool.

 Swimming Cap - While swimming, a swimming cap keeps long hair out of your face. It
also helps streamline your silhouette when swimming by corralling your hair. For these
reasons, most professional swimmers use a swim cap. A cap, on the other hand, protects
your hair from the harsh chemicals found in pool water. A swim hat also keeps your
goggles in place while you're underwater, preventing them from shifting.

 Swimsuit - Swimming obviously necessitates the use of a swimsuit. The ideal swimsuit,
on the other hand, is one that fits close to your body and does not restrict movement. To
find the proper fit, try on a few different swimsuits. Professional swimmers wear
competition suits that enhance speed and streamline their stroke. If you're a casual
swimmer, get a suit that will keep you comfortable in the water.

 Swimming Snorkels - Snorkels are used to breathe underwater so that the swimmer can
concentrate on other elements of the stroke without disrupting their rhythm with an
above-water breath. If a cap is placed on the breathing tube, they can also be used for
breath control. Swimmers in a lake or ocean can also utilize snorkels.

3. Write the dimensions of the Olympic size pool.

Olympic swimming pools, it turns out, have certain very precise proportions. They have a
length of 50 meters, a width of 25 meters, and a depth of 2 meters. When full, these pools
hold 2.5 million liters of water, or approximately 660,000 gallons.
