| | Swimming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Swimming exercises almost all muscles in the body. | | | Konrad Lorenz for example swam with geese as part of his studies of animal behavior. | | | Because the density of the human body is approximately similar to that of water, the body is supported by the water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones. |

| | Nearly all the major muscle groups are recruited when you swim with the proper technique. | | | Regardless of your stroke choice, it is important to understand that technique is critically important - the wrong technique will likely cause injury and hinder efficient progress through the water. | | | Buoyancy varies from person to person (some are natural sinkers), so make the best of what you have. |

| | No matter what the stroke, breathing should be easy and natural, since the specific gravity of the human body, although it varies with the individual, is almost always such that the body floats if the lungs are functioning normally. | | | Swimming calls more muscles into play with exact coordination than most other sports, and its high repetition of movement makes it extremely beneficial to the cardiovascular system. | | | Swimming strokes should create the least possible water resistance; there should be a minimum of splashing so that forward motion is smooth and not jerky. |
