We Swim

Swimming is fun.

You can swim alone.

Or swimming can be a team sport.

You do not need much

to swim.

You need a pool.

You need a swimsuit.

Some people

wear goggles.

Many pools are indoors.

A pool has lanes.

Each swimmer stays in a lane.

You dive into the pool.

Then you swim to the other end.

Swimmers race against each other.

Why might
swimmers
dive into
a pool?

You swim to the end

of the pool and back.

That is called a lap.

Some races last

many laps.

You use different strokes

in different races.

You face forward for most strokes.

Sometimes you swim on your back.

Judges time

the swimmers.

The fastest swimmer is

the winner.

How do the
judges time
the swimmers?

You can see a swim meet

at your school.

Or you can watch one on TV.

Where else
might you see
people swimming?

Swimming is great exercise.

It is a fun sport!
