Getting started

While swimming may be a very daily activity for many people, especially during the summer seasons, if you're thinking about getting serious about it, it takes hard work and dedication to the extreme. When you get serious about swimming you're most likely to join swim team. While some swim teams let anybody join, others require certain qualifications, such as reaching a certain level of difficulty, or knowing certain techniques, or strokes. Also, knowing rules about racing, such as what can and cannot get you disqualified, what equipment is required, and proper and improper attire.
