Swimming

Swimming is an individual & team racing sport that requires the use of one’s entire body to move through water. The sport takes place in pools & open water [e.g. in a sea or lake]. Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports, with varied distance events in Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle & Individual Medley. In addition to these Individual events, four swimmers can take part in either a Freestyle or Medley relay. A medley relay consists of four swimmers who will each swim a different stroke, ordered as Backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly & Freestyle. Swimming each stroke requires a set of specific techniques; in competition, there are divergent regulations relating to the acceptable form for each individual stroke.
