swim-techniqueSwimming is good exercise that burns lots of calories, is easy on the joints, supports your weight, builds muscular power and forbearer, meliorates cardiovascular fitness, cools you off and relaxes you in summer, and one that you can do safely into old age. In this article, I will remind the history of swimming, the advantages, the strokes, what to wear, equipment you need, where to do it, and more. Did you know that the wonderful freestyle swimmers can swim 25 meters in 7-13 strokes? The goal of any freestyle swimmer is to swim talent, using a minimal amount of strokes. Sometimes people feel like they are injured in the water when they try to swim freestyle, fluttering down the pool with much splashing and an infinitely amount of strokes.

According to Wikipedia, Stone Age cave drawings depict natives swimming and there are written allusions in the Bible and the Greek poems “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” dating back five hundred to two hundred years. There are even Egyptian clay seals from 4000 BC showing 4 great swimmers doing a version of the crawl, and the most conspicuous swimming drawings were appreciably found in the Kebir desert and were appraised to also be from around 4000 BC. If you are a new swimmer or a long-time swimmer who finds yourself splashing like there is no tomorrow, or moving your arms too quickly and tiring them in a short distant, then learn drills that work on improving stroke performance and saving energy!

Crawl (freestyle) This is great stroke and the easiest for beginners to learn. It is very good flutter kick and windmill arm motion, like the backstroke on your belly. The most abstruse part is coordinating the breathing since your face is in the water most of the time.

Today swimming is the second great exercise activity in the United States, with almost 360 million annual visits to recreational water venues. Swim clubs, recreation centers, Y’s, and many other great facilities feature swimming pools. Many high schools and colleges have good swim teams, and of course, swimming is one of the wonderful Olympic sports. Most of Americans are swimming every year. Are you one of them?

Some games that you can play in your pool. Swimming pool games are very interesting. No fighting, no pushing, no pulling hair, no dunking, no decapitating and no altercation, you get the some ideas - play nice.

pool-gamesWatermelon Polo: Players much divide into two teams. The teams meet in the middle of the swimming pool, and start the game. Once the referee has started the game, both teams must struggle to get the watermelon to the other side of the pool and into the goal. The winning team is the first one to the predetermined number of goals.
Tools Needs: more players, one watermelon, grease or lard, two goals and referee.

Diving Board HORSE: This is good similar to the basketball games of the same name. Firstly, all of the players get in a line. The first participant jumps from the diving board, and then the opponent person tries to do the same jump or dive as well as or better than the first person. If the mimicker does not do as well or perfect, that person gets a letter - “H” then “O” then “R: etc. (the letters of “HORSE”). Once a letter has been ‘awarded’, the next person becomes the leader that everyone must exert to copy. Once a player has spelled out the special word ‘HORSE’, that player is out and has to step aside and wait for a next game. The winner will be one participant left that has not spelled out the word.

Atomic Whirlpool: Have everybody get in the pool and enjoy very much. Have players walk slowly for a couple of minutes, then jog next couple of minutes, then more “run” around the edge next couple of minutes. Finally, tell them to turn around and go the other way. It is very interesting and amazing game.
