  • It is the most common reason if we were asked why we learn how to swim.

2) Health

  • Swimming is an exercise. It is a sport.
  • This activity engages a lot of muscle groups. Therefore, it is an incredible body workout.
  • It burns calories. Thus, it is good for people to lose weight.

3) Fun
