its definitely a sport.
what makes me wonder is why people come up to me telling me checkers is a sport. its a mental sport, but not a "sport" sport...and i know thats what they are referring to. |

Definitions of sport:
noun: an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition Why shouldn't swimming be a sport? Hasn't it always been? |

Swimming is surly a sport. the practices are hard and the meets are very competitive. Its alot harder to swim 200 m then to run 200 m and it tones you like you wouldn't believe.

duh, it's a sport! it's in the olympics. (well, that's not the only reason) i'm on the swim team, and it's the best exercise you can get because it exercises your whole body.

^you are disgusting
Anyone who says swimming isn't a sport obviously hasn't ever witnessed a swim practice. By the way, 2 laps under a minute is easy. Are you talking about a short or long distance pool? |

QUOTE(No1_2_NoBody13 @ Mar 6 2005, 12:12 PM) OK ive been told TO many times by NON swimmers that swimming is NOT a sport....im sorry but i dont think sombody can get in a pool and do 2 full laps in under a min (im not even there yet...just gotta lose a few more seconds) but it works down to the smallest muscle in your body....not only is it PHYSICAL its MENTAL...you gotta no when to turn how many srokes to take and just everything...you gotta have upper and lower body strength...so im sorry but it is a sport and its one of the best sports there is....  WHAT THE f**k 2 FULL LAPS IN UNDER A MINUTE, UNLESS YOU MEAN 100M, I DO 2 FULL LAPS IN UNDER HALF A MINUTE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH U [edit] alrite it turns out that by 2 laps u probably mean 100 m guess what? I STILL DO IT UNDER A MINUTE ROFL NOOB 58 100m 54 100y suck on it hahahaah |
