In 1934, however, David Armbruster, coach at the University of Iowa, devised a double overarm recovery out of the water. This "butterfly" arm action gave more speed but required greater training and conditioning. Then in 1935, Jack Sieg, a University of Iowa swimmer, developed the skill of swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison like a fish's tail. He then developed the leg action face down. Armbruster and Sieg combined the butterfly arm action with this leg action and learned to coordinate the two efficiently. With two kicks to each butterfly arm action, Sieg swam 100 yards in 1:00.2. This kick was named the dolphin fishtail kick.\n\nEven though the butterfly breaststroke, as it was called, was faster than the breaststroke, the dolphin fishtail kick was declared a violation of competitive rules. For the next 20 years, champion breaststrokers used an out-of-water arm recovery (butterfly) with a shortened breaststroke kick. In 1953, the butterfly stroke with the dolphin kick was legalized as a separate stroke for competition. Many swimmers say the "wiggle" is the key to the stroke and that a swimmer who can undulate through the water naturally can more easily learn the butterfly.

SWIMMING OF COURSE!!!!!!  Even the question offends. Swimmers are the most diciplined, most independent and focused athletes. By swimming you excercise your entire body.

lift vs drag which is basically the same principle as flight, but in the water it's called hydrodynamics.  the body is naturally buoyant, but the propulsion created by sculling/kicking forces the body to move in different directions.  for treading, that direction is toward the surface.

in addition the swimbladder helps maintain position in water and is controlled by a gas gland while labrith helps breathe in oxygen depleted water

doping is a difficult topic to tackle...talk about the use of suits.  many people take issue over the use of new 'fastskin' or full body suits.  discuss whether use of those suits should be allowed and to what extent...where do we draw the line?  will suits that have fins or propellers protruding some day be worn/allowed?  that may be extreme, but olympic swimmers are not allowed to wear fins or hand paddles in a race because they enhance performance; don't some of the technology-enhanced suits people wear these days do the same thing?  when does the sport stop being about human ability and start being a faceoff between different kinds of swimwear?\n\nhope this helps...

They best type of swimming is constant motion. You have to get you heart rate and keep it up to burn fat. Do whatever is your best stroke for at least 20 minutes to start burning fat. Aqua aerobics are wonderful also. As far as toning. Breast stroke is a great workout it target a lot of muscle groups. More than freestyle and backstroke and its a lot easier than butterfly. Breast stroke is an easy stroke to learn, (not easy to master) but once learned you can keep it up for a while.

swimming,not because of the skimpy suits either...the body moving thru the water is sleek to me..and diving is what I consider to be majestic..great to watch and even better to do myself! =)

the US has some very young, but very strong swimmers surfacing.   three notable ones are kate ziegler, katie hoff, jessica hardy.  natalie coughlin, amanda beard, libby lenton, and inge bruijn are among the best also.  there is no clear top female right now.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SWIMMING! I swim about 20 hours a week training under the coaching staff of 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Kristine Quance.  It is the best sport ever!

i'm a swimmer, but of course i am a girl. guys should wear speedos, which makes them faster. some guys even shave their whole body to become faster.
