Here are five fun facts about swimming. First, swimming works almost every major muscle in your body. Second, water is about 800 times denser than air, so every stroke is a bit of resistance training.
Third, a full breath helps you float: your lungs work like a built-in float. Fourth, cave paintings of swimmers in Egypt are about 10,000 years old, so people have loved the water for a very long time. Fifth, an Olympic pool is 50 m long.
