Swimming is a competitive sport played around the world and on many different levels,including the Olympics.
It’s also an easy sport to do on your own,both for fun and for exercise.
Many doctors and athletes agree that swimming is one of the best workouts you can give your body,because it works almost on all of your major muscle groups at the same time.
Since you’re floating in the water and not in contact with any hard surfaces,there’s less pressure on your joints and bones.
You’re less likely to suffer injuries than with other sports.
There are many ways to push yourself and get better as a swimmer.
If your’re into speed,you can race the clock and see how long it takes you to do a certain number of laps.
If you’re into endurance,you can slow down and see how manys laps you can do before you have to take a rest.
Many teenagers like swimming best.
One of the students says,“The best part about swimming is when you beat your time.
It doesn’t even matter if you lose the race as long as you tried your best;you can walk away with a smile on your face.
When you’re in the wter you forget that peole may be watching and all you care about is getting to the other side of the pool and touching the wall.
You can just let go and fly.”
游泳是一项竞技运动，在世界各地和许多不同的层面上都有，包括奥运会。
这也是一项很容易自己做的运动，既好玩又锻炼。
许多医生和运动员都认为游泳是最好的锻炼方式之一，因为它几乎同时作用于你所有的主要肌肉群。
因为你漂浮在水中，没有接触任何坚硬的表面，所以对你的关节和骨骼的压力较小。
与其他运动相比，你受伤的可能性更小。
作为一名游泳运动员，有很多方法可以激励自己，让自己变得更好。
如果你对速度感兴趣，你可以和时钟赛跑，看看你跑一定圈数需要多长时间。
如果你喜欢耐力，你可以放慢速度，看看你能跑多少圈，然后再休息。
许多青少年最喜欢游泳。
其中一个学生说：“游泳最棒的部分是你能按时完成任务。
即使你输了比赛，只要你尽了最大努力也没关系，你可以面带微笑离开。
当你在游泳池时，你忘记了人们可能在观看，而你所关心的只是到游泳池的另一边去触摸墙壁。
你可以放手去飞。”
