All About Swimming

Introduction

Are you ever wondering what sport you can play? If so you want to exercise
well here's the just right book for you. I have a good idea for you. Imagine that
you want exercise and your thinking in your head maybe I should go to the
gym. Then you say to yourself but the gym is to far away or it’s closed or there’s
too much traffic. Then you should try out a new thing like swimming. The good
thing about swimming is that you can swim indoor or outdoor! This book is
important because you will definitely get exercise. In this book you will learn
about strokes, games, and extra.


Chapter One- What To Wear

Are you ever wondering what to wear and what the difference between
what girls wear for swimming and what boys wear for swimming? Well
here’s your answer! First let’s start with boys. Some boys wear just shorts
and not a shirt but some boys like to wear both so shorts still and a shirt.
I don’t mean regular shirts and regular shorts I mean bathing suits.
Now let's switch to girls and what they want to wear. There are lots of
things that girls like to wear. There are regular bathing suits but  maybe
what I am gonna tell you right now you might not know what they are.
The thing that I was going to tell you were bikinis. Bikinis are a type of
bathing suits and they have straps that ends a little past your chest then
there is a little gap that shows your belly button and there is also a bottom
but still leaving the gap in between the top and the bottom. But some girls
don’t like to wear it because they are to modest. A third one is just a
regular bathing suit but sometimes girls want a skirt at the bottom.



Chapter Two- Learn To Do Strokes

I am going to tell you about some strokes and how you do them! Okay
let's start with the back flout. Step one put your chin up. Step two spread
out your arm’s. Step three lay back in the water with your back face down
but still your chin up and also still have your arms stretched out too. Step
four while your still laying in the water put your legs close together and
kick your legs. Step five move your arms in circles. That was your last
step. The next stroke is the doggy paddle. This one is very easy so if you
try this one I bet you will make it. Okay let's start. Step one put your legs
up and make them kind of bent like your kicking your touch. Last step is to
flap your hand half way in the water. Some other strokes that you can try
are the butterfly stroke, breaststroke, frog, and finally diving and extra.






Chapter Three- More Games More Fun!


Are you ever swimming in the pool and getting bored? well I am always
thinking of that in my own pool. I am going to teach you some games you
can play in the pool to help you out. Let's start! #1 basketball. You can
only play basketball in the pool if you actually have a basketball hoop.
#2 marco polo #3 racing #4 other games that I made up. One of the other
games that I made up is a game that me, my sister, and my friend Quinn
thought of. This is how you play! To play the game you need three people
or more. First you decide who is going to be the judge. The judge also
goes under the water the same time the other two kids go under water
but it doesn’t have to be two people if you want it to be over that number
who can do that. Whoever does the best move underwater wins and the
judge picks who the winner is and who ever wins gets to be the next judge.
In the game there is no winner or loser so nobody feels bad.






Chapter Four-The Great Debate!


Are you ever wondering trying to decide if indoor swimming is better or if
outdoor swimming is better? Well let's see who’ll win! Well indoor
swimming is usually public for example the YMCA and hotels. When it is
public it usually echos a lot and even when you whisper and there is other
people in the place that you are at they can still hear you. When it is
outdoor swimming it doesn’t echo at all. Since outdoor swimming is
usually privet and at your house you don’t have to drive far but there is a
little problem with outdoor pools it is that there are probably going to be
bugs in the pool including frogs. Now that was the bad news and finally
it is time for the good news! If you cover the pool then the animals can't
get in but if you step on the cover you will fall right threw and be really
cold. That's not all there are still similarities  with different types of pools
and well if you were wondering let me tell you. First of all there are both
fun! Second of all well this is one of the oveis ones there are both pools.
Third of all you both wear bathing suits for them. Fourth of all you can do
the same strokes in them. I still don’t know you should win why don’t you
decide.







Conclusion

Now that you have learned everything about swimming you’ll be ready to swim
your way to the next level soon. Now you might be thinking you want to go to
the pool soon. If you do I hope you like it!
Hope you LOVE swimming!
