Swimming is for everyone no matter what age or level of fitness. It Is the activities of propelling oneself through water using the limbs. Swimming is a long-life skill that could save your life and another person’s life.
Going for a swimming competition which is also an Olympic event, it is normal to have this feeling of anxiety, worries and being nervous probably because of the long pool course and the width of the swimming pool that would be used in this competition.
