Swimming styles and words
Do you enjoy swimming?I really do. Swimming is the only sport that relaxes my the whole body. I enjoy swimming in the sea. There are many swimming styles.Do you have a favorite one? Here are some swimming styles; **The crawl** – swimming with your legs kicking and your arms moving over your head.
**Backstroke** – swimming on your back with your legs kicking.
**Breast stroke** – swimming by pushing your arms out to the sides.
**he butterfly** – swimming with both arms moving over your head at the same time.
Doggy paddle – swimming by making movements like a dog in the water.
Words and expressions that are connected to swimming are: If you **“do a lap”**, you swim from one end of the pool to the other. If someone is “**drowning”**, they are dying because they are under the water and can't breathe, or they are in trouble because they keep going under the water.
If you **“tread water”**, you move your hands, arms and legs in the water so you can stay in one position. Thanks for reading my article. *Photos and some facts are from the magazine Learn Hot English.*

I love swimming too.When I am in sea coast I swim near coast,most I like to swim in swimming pool.Then I know that I am safe.
I prefer swimming in the sea, I really enjoy. Sometimes I go swimming in the swimming pool but not so often.
I'm happy for you, I can't swim. 😂
Hihi my father told me the dog is better than me if he throws it to the water it will at least paddle while I just drown. 😂😂😂 But I tried scuba diving even I can't swim and it was an amazing experience!
Never is too late. Just relax and together with your child you will succeed.
If someone throws me in the water I can only survive for five minutes there not more than that! I don't know how people swim that various styles. This is still an unsolved mystery for me. Thank you for letting us know types of swimming! I wish I could swim 🙄
I am sure that every human being can swim. It is only a fear. Just relax in the water, dont be afraid and the water will help you.
I love learning to swim, and I'm one of those people who enjoys watching swimmers. Especially when they show their swimming tricks. The heart becomes happy. I feel astonished and happy at the people who swim like backstrokes. Thank you
You are welcome. Swimming makes the whole body feel better and relaxed.
I don't know how to swim, but they say it's never too late to learn, I definitely plan to enroll in swimming school.
It is never too late for good things. You will love it.
