Swimming

If people don't learn how to swim then swimming will be their biggest fear, the reason why we have school is so we can learn maths, writing and swimming. Cause if you went to the beach or pools and it was deep then you won't drown you will be able to swim. Swimming is important because you will drown or you will be scared. In college we have swimming contests. That's the reason why we have lifeguards so they can save us or kids when they drown.

If you live on land no water then you won't be able to swim. If you know how to swim then you will be confident. So if there was a tsunami/flood or hurricane you would know how to swim and you can go on the mountain. If there was someone drowning a lifeguard would straight away help you. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body. builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.
