My presetation is about swimming

Why have I chosen this subject?

I choose this subject because I have been swimming for 10 years now and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a serious sport too because you move every part of your body. But most people swim because they want to relax.

Different ways of swimming

There are 4 different ways to swim.
You have the Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and the butterfly stroke. These are the official strokes for competitions.
Now I am going to tell you something about these strokes

The freestyle is the fastest stroke. If you want to swim the freestyle you must bring your arms one for one over the water to the front. Your hand touches the water first. The legs go up and down in the water. (plaatje start)
The backstroke is the same as the freestyle but then it is on your back. And you start the stroke in the water like this (plaatje)
The Breaststroke is the slowest stroke.
The butterfly stroke takes a lots of energy, you must bring your both your arms at the same time to the front. And your legs go up and down together. Like this (voor doen)
If you swim 25 meters you must make a turning-point This is diffrent for every stroke. If you swim the butterfly or breaststroke you must touch the side of the pool with both of your hands. And If you swim the freestyle or backstroke you must touch the side with one hand and then you must make a somersault.

Certificates:

Everybody knows the certificates A, B, and C. but there’s more. You have:
- Snorkel 1, 2 and 3

- Rescue swimming 1, 2 and 3
most of the childern learn to swim when they are 4 or 5, first they must earn the certificate ‘proef’ if they earn that certificate they can earn A and B
For certificate A the childern must do the following things: swimming with your clothes on, diving, freestyle, to tread water. These are subdivided in other things.

Swim competitions.

The word is saying it. People will training by there speed. Butterfly stroke, backstroke freestyle and breaststroke are the most used strokes in a competition.

Famous swimmers are: pieter van den hoogenband he has stayed in the top four of the world for nine years now, inge de bruin and ian thorpe he is a great swimmer from Australia. But He’s a big rival of pieter van den hoogenband.
I swim competitions too. But I don’t swim a lot of competitions in a year. My club is on the eighth place in the competitions from limburg, zeeland en noord-brabant in the third grade.
But when I was younger I swam speedo competitions Here are some of the medals that I’ve won (laten zien).My club has their own yearly competition. here are some of the medals (laten zien)
For a swim competition you need the following things: a swimsuit or swimming trunks, diving goggles and a bathing-cap . Usually you have a t-shirt from your club. You wear that when you are waiting for a competition.

So this was my presetation.
