Week 9 [30.11-06.12.2015] Swimming



Swimming is an individual or team sport. Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports, with events in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Olympic events are held in a 50-meter pool, called a long course pool. This is a good form of activity because it works on all muscle groups.

You can very quickly lose weight. It stimulates our endorphins and we  feel much better. It is a good form of spending free time, rather than only in front of the computer. It is an excellent form of the activity for overweight people. Swimming is also a Paralympic discipline. It is possible to begin to learn to swim at the age of 3-4.


Swimming  improves:
  • your  mood
  • posture
  • ventilation of lungs
  • back problems
  •  metabolism


I  go to the  swimming pool early in the morning because then the swimming pool is empty. I think swimming is a good discipline of sport because it improves my stamina and I just  feel better. My favourite kind of swimming style is front crawl because I can swim quickly. I think all people should swim because it is good for our body.



Questions:
 
  • Do you like swim?
  • What do you think about this sport? 
  •  Would you like to earn in this way?
  •  Which is your favourite style swimming?

  1. It's hard to admit, but I don't swim. Maybe a year ago I was able to swim (at least not to drown) but now I don't have time for this.
    If I have to excuse myself: my location is bad. No swimming pools of gyms, no nothing...
    I haven't thought about earning on sport but I like jogging. It's great to just come out from home and start jogging. My neighbourhood is very peaceful - no cars and pollutions. And a lot of woods. That's the best environment for jogging

    1. Every sport is good, it is good you aren't sitting all the time at home.
      Environment ideal for running and outdoor sports.

  2. Personally I don't like swimming. However, I do think that it's a good sport, as with every other sport discipline, and definitely worth mentioning. As I don't like swimming, and I don't swim, I don't have any favourite style, neither I'd like to earn in this way.

  3. Personally, I'm not a fan of swimming. Despite this, I think that swimming is a very good sporting activity. Many times I read that swimming has a lot of advantages, for example: it helps lose weight, builds muscle mass, builds cardiorespiratory fitness and of course provides a pleasant way to cool down on a hot day.

  4. Yes I like swimming, it's one of the the best sports for me. Very good activities. For me it is only hobby, I earn money in other way. I prefer to swim front crawl.

  6. Do you like swim? - Definitely yes. Water is my favorite element.
    What do you think about this sport? - Did this sport for 12 years. And i can say that swimming is very good for your health if you dont do it professionally. Hard training do not improve your health or condition, it rather make you vulnerable for any illness.
    Would you like to earn in this way? - Nowadays i am swimming for myself, it helps me clear my mind after hard day.
    Which is your favourite style swimming? - Breaststroke. My style :)

  7. Sure I like swimming a lot. Going to the pool / lake / sea is one of the best forms of recreation for me. As for the sport, it's healthy, swimming engages almost every muscle in your body. It's good for posture, so it's a great idea to get your children to enjoy swimming as soon as possible.
    Obviously I wouldn't want to earn money this way, for I would probably be at the swimming pool right now, training hard, not commenting this post of the English course ;)

  8. Yes I like swimming. I remember I never have had problems with swimming. I think it is a very healthy sport. I know it is very good for our spine. I am tall so I have to take care a little more then others about my spine. When I visited doctor last time he told me that I should swim more. My favorite style is front crawl when I want to train a little but when I want only spend some time on swimming pool I like backstroke style, it is relaxing. I think earning money in any sport isn't for me ;)

  9. Yes I really like swimming but I used to swim more when I was in highschool. Its a great sport and everyone should do it from time to time. It really helps with some health issues. I'm not sure if i would like to be a professional swimmer because it is veary hard work. You have to spend a lot of time daily in a swimming pool.

  10. Yep I do, I really enjoy it actually, I was a very active guy back then and I used to go to swimming pool twice a week, it's very very good for you, for your back problems as listed at the article ;). I think people should swim more, It will solve most of their problems ;)
    Nah not really, I have my own way in life, and I don't have that strong will to proceed , to work so hard.
    My favourite is butterfly of course :) and freestyle :)

  11. I like swimming too, but but in the watter I am sure it looks like I am trying to survive and not to get drowned :) However I am too lazy to go often to a swimming pool and my visitation in this place is being made once a year.

  12. When I was younger I used to swim 3 times a week, now it’s not that easy to find motivation and go to the swimming pool. In my opinion swimming is one of best cardio exercises, if you don’t move much, it is easier to start swimming than running. About earning money from it I can’t think of anything else than being professional swimmer, like going on Olympics etc. Your career last like 10 years, and later probably you are taken as trainer somewhere, at age of 50 there is not much you can do with it, and that doesn’t sound like fun.

  13. Of course I like swim, especially diving. I think this sport is a great idea to be more healthy and happy. It dosen't require too much effort. I think that professional swimming is a poor opportunity to earn money, because requires many sacrifices. My favourite style is on the back.

  14. Yes i like swim but i don't go too often to swimming pool becouse i don't have too much free time . What i like in this kind of sport ? Like You said it works on all muscle groups so this is big advantage . My opinion on Your third question is the same like Lukasz Korol so i jump to Your last question . So my favourite style is crawl because this style arranges a lot of muscle groups

  15. Nah, I don't like any body of water that's bigger than my tub.

  16. Hmm I like swimming but I don't like swimming-pools... Usually these place are not so clean, you can easily get some tinea on your feets... Also going out with wet hair from the swimming-pool you can get sick especially at winter. I remember I was learning how to swim in primary school and I took a part in a lot of swimming competitions. Once I even took second place. As a sport in my opinion it's a great competition. When you are starting in long distances your durability is tested, in short distances your strength. Also all parts of muscles are working during swimming and it helps you to stay fit.

  17. I like swimming but it's not my favourite sport, I prefer cycling. I think it's the bet sport for our organisms as it develops every muscle in our body. I definetly don't want to earn this way. I agree with you that crawl is the fastest swimming style, I love it to because of it.

  18. I do not swim too much, because I do not have much opportunities to do so . Only in the sea or a lake. Due to the fact that I do not swim much I do not know what I like in swimming. My favorite style is floating :P.

  19. I must admit that I do not like to swim. Or maybe I like, but recreationally, not at the pool, where everyone goes swimming star, everything stinks of chlorine and people spit into the water. I like to swim in the lake, where I do not have to worry that someone will hit me and I can swim where I want. Pools repel me what makes I could not make money in this way. I can not swim properly many styles, so my favorite is the "żabka")

  20. My sister is a swimmer. She encouraged me practising that kind of sport. Swimming is the best for:
    losing weight
    correcting the condition
    improving the mood
    My sister has ambitions in the future that she would earn in this way. Personally I wouldn't. My favorite style is frog style

  21. I'm totally into many sports, among others I really like swimming. Beyond all of these obvious health benefits, it's a great way to reduce stress after long day. I sometimes choose swimming pool instead of gym when I know that I have to do the training but my body is too exhausted to work-out on gym. It's more realxing and I feel totally calm after such session. I used to be a part of swimming team in high school, till now I remember the trainings in cold winter afternoons when the only thing I've dreamt about was a warm bed and the feeling of cald water insted of this. Also, the better question is which swimming style is my hated one - butterfly style. I have no idea if I could ever do that, but beacause I didn't like it, my trainer forced me to practice it all the time.

  22. 1. I love swimming. It’s on of my favourite ways of spending free time. When I am swimming I am as happy as a clam.
    2. I think it’s one of the healthiest sports. For example people who have problems with spine should swim a lot.
    3. Of course I would like to earn in this way, because I love to swim, but I know that I’m not a master of swimming and I don’t have enough time to devote myself to do it, it’s just my hobby.
    4. I don’t have one favourite style swimming. I like crawl stroke, back stroke and butterfly stroke.

  23. I like to be in the water, but I'm not really fond of swimming, though I am capable of it. It's just too exhausting for me.
    In my opinion, swimming is a great sport because you'r practicing and having fun at the same time. I heard about this all muscle parts working thing, too, and it is awsm.
    I don't think I could enjoy doing it for a living.
    Breast stroke is my favourite swimming style.

  24. Because of not having free time in the amount I want, I choose rather gym than swimming pool. Despite this I really like this kind of activity. I like it especially in the swimming-pool. I can say a lot of bad words in the direction of swimming pools (from tinea to fat exhibitionists) but the fact that I'm able to find myself there in spite of my big vision defect is priceless (yet still I never know what time the clock shows). In a places like lake or sea I just feel uncomfortable not being able to see clearly what is happening around my feet.
