Overview

Swimming is a popular competitive sport and part of other competitive sports like diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming. In addition to being fun and a great way to keep fit, swimming is an important life skill. Good swimmers can help save lives as lifeguards and in water rescue situations! The main text takes readers through the motions of all the strokes, including the fast front crawl. Photographs accompany step-by-step instructions on how the arms and legs move and how to breathe while moving through the water. Tips and tricks to better flip turns and dives will help all swimmers, from experienced to novice.
