Somebody from here thought that swimming is not a sport . You will be wrong if say it that way. Yes, definitely, swimming is considered a sport. Here's why:
1. Competitive in nature- Swimming has organized competition at all levels from local meets to the Olympics. Athletes train rigorously, and compete for victory.
2. Physical demands - Swimming requires incredible strength , endurance and technical skill. It engages almost every muscle group in the body.
3.Skill and strategy- Swimmers need to master different strokes , pacing, and race tactics. They also need to be aware of their opponents and adapt their strategy accordingly.
So, swimming meets all the criteria to be classified as a sport.
