1Swimming is really being able to get out from a river you have fallen in without drowning .
2The two main swimming strokes are the breaststroke and the crawl .
3The breaststroke is very hard to explain in words but I am going to try to do it .
4You first float , and then move your legs and hands to a certain position .
5Next you move your legs and arms forward , kick your legs out and move your hands round , and then you do this again .
6Very soon you find you are swimming .
7The crawl is very different . It is like kicking except you are much more graceful .
8You are in a position like this at_first and you then kick out and do long strokes with your arms and legs .
9Very soon you find you are moving along .
10Swimming is great fun and everybody should try it . It is a life_-_saver .
