Swimming is a particular sport,
because you can practice throughout your life, using different approaches and
becoming a specialist of all swimming styles .
But what is swimming ? According
to some authors like Arellano, Iguarán or Counsilman, they define the term
swimming in the following way:
- When talking about swimming , we are referring to a sport that can be practiced by babies from a few months of age to people of 70 or 80 years old.
"The ability that allows the
human being to move in the water , thanks to the propulsive action
performed by the rhythmic, repetitive and coordinated movements of the upper
and lower limbs and the body, which will allow him to stay on the surface and
overcome the resistance offers the water to move in it ".

of speed and endurance. This situation is due to the fact that, unlike other
sports, the human organism was not designed to swim, since this action involves
movements, not natural and not very intuitive. Swimming guy
