There are so many rules and events in swimming and that is what I am here to talk to you about.

Rules      

Like I said there are some Rules to swimming and I will tell you some of the most simple rules. 

In breaststroke and butterfly you have to touch the walls with two hands at the same time.

With freestyle and backstroke you only have to touch the wall with one hand.

With backstroke when you turn over to do your tumble turn you only get a couple of strokes to do your .    

And quiet a few more
