Abstract:
Swimming is often touted as one of the most accessible workoutslow impact, low tech, and beneficial at any stage of life. Yet each time you suit up and dive in, your body's moving parts must work together to propel you through dozens of pounds of water resistance, somehow emulating the movements of species that evolved specifically for the water. What are the physical forces at work when you get in a pool, and what determines whether you will sink or swim?
