15. Swimming is a sport which has four different styles. The first one is called crawl. For this style you swim with your arms and legs and you go straight. It is the fastest style. The second style which is less fast is the dolphin style. You swim it again with your legs and arms. Your legs move like a dolphin tail. Your arms move like a paddle of a boat. The arms are the most important for this style because if they get tired you can’t move. The next type is back style. It’s similar to crawl but you swim it on your back. This style is very nice because you can take a rest lying on your back. The last type is breaststroke. You swim like a frog. I swim in Levski Spartak club and I know all of the styles because I practise them every week. I have never gone on competitions but I will one day when I am ready to go.
