HISTORY OF SWIMMING

Swimming isn't just a modern sport; it's a skill

practiced for millennia. From ancient
Egyptians using it for survival and recreation,
to Greeks and Romans incorporating it into
military training, swimming has a rich history.
The first heated pools emerged in Roman
times, while rudimentary goggles were
invented centuries later. By the 1800s,
swimming had become a competitive sport
and graced the very first modern Olympics in
1896. Throughout its journey, advancements
like chlorination and specialized swimsuits
have transformed pools and propelled athletic
performance to new heights.
Butterfly The most physically demanding
stroke, swimmers lie on their stomachs with
simultaneous arm strokes above the water
and a synchronized dolphin kick with their
legs.

TYPES OF STROKES

Freestyle (front crawl) The fastest and most

efficient stroke, swimmers lie on their
stomachs with alternating arm strokes and a
flutter kick.

BUBBLING

Air bubbles rising to the surface of the water

after exhaling underwater while swimming.

Breaststroke Swimmers lie on their stomachs

with a simultaneous arm stroke that
resembles a frog kicking and a "frog kick" with
their legs. It is considered the most
technically challenging stroke to master.
