Welcome To Our Swimming Resource Center.

Swimming differs from most other sports in several aspects:

• A horizontal body position

  Swimmers are in a prone, horizontal position during performance and training.

• Arms and legs both propel

  Both arms and legs are actively used for propulsion.

• Pressure and breathing

  Being immersed in the water causes pressure on the body and affects breathing.

• Force applied to moving water

  Aside from starts and turns, the forces from the athlete are at all times applied to a fluid moving element (water).
