Freestyle Stroke Essay Swimming is science. When a person swims, they are displacing water. In Ancient Greek times, a physicist named Archimedes discovered the principle of buoyancy. Archimedes Principle states that an object in gravity applies a force, or a buoyancy, to whatever it is surrounded in. When a person submerges him or herself in water, the water levels will rise. The density of a person or object determines if its floatation. If an object is more dense than the water, it will sink.

At my very first swimming lesson it was scary being thrown into something that was so unfamiliar! But despite my fear, I swam across the entire pool all on my own and I was actually pretty good. I was encouraged by great Y staff to keep swimming, and shortly thereafter, I ended up joining the Y’s swim team. Being a Y kid growing up, I have experienced firsthand the type of impact the Dubuque Community YMCA/YWACA has on its young members.

Finally! I did it! I did something I never thought I would be able to do. I’m now able to do a flip turn for swimming. When I was younger, about third or fourth grade, I was in competitive swimming.

It wasn’t until I had gone off to the side with an instructor for a few days and worked at it until I got it. I was in swimming for three

I thought that I was one of the best swimmers in Manchester before I joined the swim team. My mom always bragged to others that I swam like a fish when I passed two levels of swimming lessons in two weeks. I was overly confident of my talent, and that all changed on the first day of swim team practice.

My freshmen year swim season gave me an experience I’ll never forget. It was in the middle of the season, we were swimming against Sauk Centre, a team we usually had close meets with. My goal for the year was to make it to sections in the 100 fly, and I was close. I had been consistently dropping time getting closer and closer to 1:18.00. This meet was the most disappointing meet of the year for me. I was entered in four varsity races:200 medley relay, 200 IM, 100 butterfly, and the 400 medley relay
