Swimming is an individual or team racing sport that
requires the use of one's entire body to move through water. The sport
takes place in pools or open water. Competitive swimming is one of the
most popular Olympic sports, with varied distance events in
butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and
individual medley.
Swimming each stroke requires a set of specific techniques; in
competition, there are distinct regulations concerning the acceptable
form for each individual stroke.
