Is swimming good for you?

What is swimming?
Swimming is an activity that involves every part of the body like your limbs. Swimming is performed usually in a pool but is also performed on the beach or ocean.


There are 5 different freestyle strokes in swimming. There is backstroke, breastroke, freestyle, the butterfly stroke and the side stroke.  
- Backstroke is performed by swimming but your whole body is upwards towards the ceiling or sky.
- Freestyle is when you use both hands to swim repeatedly and your feet is kicking at the back.
Image result for swimming- Breaststroke is when you swim but both of your hands are close to each other and end up to your side. Your feet is the same way as your hands are.
- Butterfly stroke is like the breastroke because your hands is the same as the breastroke. However your feet must be kicking like a dolphin.
- Side stroke is performed by swimming by your side. In a sidestroke you have a leading arm and the rest of your limbs are straight below. The feet of your body mostly makes you move and your leading arm is to make you straight.


Swimming is also a sport and many people participate. People usually race to the end of the course and sometimes they have to go back once again. Many swimmers have won a cup for participating and winning in swimming. Michael Phelps is an example of a famous swimmer who has won a cup/medal in swimming.


Swimming is a very fun activity to practise. It can also make you feel better like from your asthma. It can help it cure and you also get plenty of exercise. If you become a swimmer and enter competitions you might win a cup/medal just like Michael Phelps.
