I had been a swimmer ever since I was little. I remeber when my mom first signed me up for swimming lesson I got so mad at her I started crying because I didn't wanna go. I enterned anyways but, for some reason it was hard for me to pass the next level. To be clear I learned how to swim in South gate swimming pool and when you sign up to learn how to swim in order to go to the swim team or finally learn how to swim you would need to pass all the levels. Which as you can tell was hard for me but, in the end I ended up joining the South Gate Aquatic Club (SGAC). So far I have been through three different teams including the one I am in right know.
Some basic things you need to know is the strokes to competivtive swimming which is:
All of these strokes are different and they all are important although, the "basic stroke" is freestyle. There is also an event that is in comepetitive swimming which is called individual melady which we call it "IM". In this event swimmers swim all four strokes in order which is butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.
