What Is Competitive Swimming?

Competitive Swimming is a high intensity aquatic sport, in which you propel yourself through the given distance in the water, in the shortest amount of time.  Competitive Swimming consists of the four strokes:Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, and Freestyle. But, in and IM or Medley Relay all four strokes are done in one race. During the race, the swimmers usually wear a completion suit. For men, this can be a Speedo™ or a Fast Suit. For women, this is almost always a one piece, which can vary based on the suits back.Swimmers also must always wear goggles and swim caps during competitions.
