the freestyle stroke,
backstroke,

โข Swimming each stroke requires a set of specific
techniques; in competition, there are distinct regulations
concerning the acceptable form for each individual stroke.
There are also regulations on what types of swimsuits,
caps, jewelry and injury tape that are allowed at
competitions. Although it is possible for competitive
swimmers to incur several injuries from the sport, such
as tendinitis in the shoulders or knees, there are also
multiple health benefits associated with the sport.

and in the same horizontal plane without
alternating movement. After the start and after
each turn, the swimmer may take one arm stroke
completely back to the legs.

key differences: softballs are larger
than baseballs, and the pitches are
thrown underhand rather than
overhand. Softball is played on a
smaller diamond than in baseball.
10. SOFTBALL HISTORY
โข It is generally agreed that
softball developed from a game
called indoor baseball, first played
in Chicago in 1887. It became
known in the United States by
various names, such as kitten ball,
mush ball, diamond ball, indoorโ
outdoor, and playground ball.
