SWIMMING History FOR STUDENTS

Swimming is the movement of humans or animals through water. It can be done for sport, recreation, exercise or survival. Some key benefits of swimming include its low-impact nature, ability to be done lifelong, and how it builds cardiovascular fitness and muscle mass while burning calories. Competitive swimming began in the 19th century and was included in the first modern Olympics in 1896. Basic water safety rules include checking weather, respecting water conditions, wearing a life jacket, creating a float plan, knowing personal limits, assisting others only if safe to do so, carrying a whistle for emergencies, and allowing right of way to larger vessels.

10 Basic Water Safety
Rules
1.Check the Weather. Never depart onto the water if there
is a storm approaching. It could get stronger than
anticipated.
2.Respect the Water. If even the most professional
outdoor enthusiasts practice this, so can you.
3.ALWAYS Wear a Life Jacket. Unpredictability on the
water can put you in a position where having a life jacket
on could save your life.
4.Create a Float Plan. Let others know where and when
you will be. Check in if possible.
5.Know Your Limits. Don’t try and tackle water that you
are unfamiliar with

6. Stay “Help Minded” If you see another boater in distress.
Always be sure you are safe and call for assistance before trying
to help others.
7. Carry a Whistle for emergency situations. The sound of a
whistle can travel far distances. It is good to carry a good one
such as a Fox40 Classic.
8. Allow the Right-Of-Way for bigger and faster vessels.
Never assume they will stop for you.
9. Stay Observant of potential dangerous wildlife and avoid
areas with this type of wildlife if possible.
10.Know the Water. Study and scout (observe) rapids, currents
storm patterns, and other geographical data before departing
out.
