In a heartbreaking occurrence, a 26-year-old man tragically drowned in North Carolina while family members tried to teach him how to swim. The tragic incident has left the neighborhood in shock and mourning as police look into the accident’s circumstances. Jose Moises Ramirez-Olvera, a resident of Winston-Salem, was at High Rock Lake with his family members for swimming lessons. SWIMMING LESSON ENDS IN TRAGEDY Family members brought him out with the hopes of teaching him swimming and a fun afternoon, but it quickly turned into an evening of horrors. During the lesson, he disappeared underwater. The family grew concerned after he did not rise up to the surface and made a frantic call to the authorities. “Jose went under the water and wanted to swim to a buoy about 40 feet away and never resurfaced,” the Davidson County [https://www.essentiallysports.com/soccer-football-news-they-have-literally-got-league-one-players-wrexham-fairy-tale-promotion-story-gets-downplayed-with-bold-claims-by-rival-notts-county-star-who-believes-th/]Sheriff’s office wrote in a news release. [https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/26-old-drowns-family-members-153701685.html] The incident occurred during a family outing where the young adult, eager to learn how to swim, was out with his family, who volunteered to teach him. Rescue crew found the body in the lake after more than two hours of frantic searching, 40 miles south of Winston-Salem. Deputies told McClatchy News via email that nothing about the 26-year-old’s drowning death appeared suspicious, despite the fact that an investigation is still ongoing. They delivered the body of the man to the medical examiner’s office. The distressing accident serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with water-based activities, even under the supervision of well-meaning family members.

Even though family members may have the best of intentions, water-based activities have inherent risks that call for expert advice and safety measures. Statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that around 4000 people lose their lives to drowning every year in the United States. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance has uploaded several safety tips on their website to educate the public. In conclusion, the tragic drowning of a 26-year-old individual during a family-led swimming lesson is a stark reminder of the dangers of waters. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for water safety awareness and risks involved in water-based activities. Authorities continue their investigation as people extend their deepest sympathies to the family.

Swimming is a sport that turns tides for everyone who experiences the competition. It is an exciting sport and one of the easiest sports to practice. Although mastering it takes time, it is a sport that most people do in daily life. It is a water sport and takes its place in the Summer Olympics. There are four different strokes in the sport. The common one is freestyle, followed by backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Many swimmers have graced the swimming pool while performing well to their abilities. Along with the Olympics, the FINA World Championships, the Pan Pacific Championships, and the World Short Course Championships. The length of the swimming pool is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. Likewise, the short course pool is 25 meters long and the world records between the short course and long course pools are kept separately.

<h3>History of swimming</h3>
The sport originated way back when humans swam in the water to find food. Until the 1800s, they did not consider swimming to be a sport. Athletic swimming is believed to have started in Britain. Likewise, the swimming championships in the 1840s were put to the forefront by Australia. As they held the 1896 Olympics in Athens, Greece, swimming became a staple part of the competitions, henceforth. With just four swimming events at first, a Greek sailor named Ioannis Malokinis won the first competition.

Britain established swimming pools <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/swimming/history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in</a> 1837. Likewise, swimming originated in Australia in 1846. The USA established swimming in 1888. With most countries taking up the sport, FINA, or the Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur was founded in 1909.
<h3>The four swimming strokes</h3>
There are four different strokes of swimming. The four disciplines have different events amongst them. The four strokes are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Hence, these strokes are used in major swimming competitions. The first stroke is freestyle. It is the most commonly used swimming stoke as it has the most events at the Olympic Games. It is usually known as the front crawl and is one of the fastest swimming stokes in the world.

The next stroke is the backstroke where swimmers swim with their backs inside the water. This is a stroke that enables a swimmer to breathe from above but swimmers cannot see the endpoint. The start of this stroke is inside the water and swimmers swim their way to the finishing point. After that comes the breaststroke. The breaststroke is a comfortable swimming stroke and the swimmer's head comes out of the water. It is a style in which the swimmer is on their chest and is one of the slowest strokes in the competition. The leg kicks are similar to a frog and it is a comfortable stroke.

The final stroke is the butterfly which is one of the hardest strokes in swimming. A person swims on the chest with both hands going symmetrically. The swimmer uses a dolphin kick to do this stroke. Technically, it is a hard stroke and swimmers require great physical conditioning to pull this off.
<h3>Greatest swimmers in the world</h3>
The sport has produced some of the best talents the Olympics has seen. Many of them have won an incredible number of medals and dominated the competition. These are the world's most talented swimmers to grace the swimming pool.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Michael Phelps:?</strong>Arguably the greatest swimmer of all time, Michael Phelps is just a phenomenon. He won 28 Olympic medals of which 23 are gold medals. He won eight gold medals at a single Olympic Games, breaking world records throughout his career.</li>

World Magazine selected him as World Swimmer of the Year in 1969, 1971, and 1972.</li>
 	<li><strong>Ian Thorpe:?</strong>The Australian Thorpedo is the best swimmer to come out of Australia. He won five Olympic gold medals and had one of the best swimming motions, in the sport's history. He was a four-time World swimmer of the year.</li>
 	<li><strong>Matt Biondi:?</strong>The American swimmer was one of the best swimmers in the world with eleven Olympic medals. He is a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame and the United States Olympic Hall of Fame.</li>

 	<li><strong>Dara Torres:?</strong>She is a 12-time Olympic medalist and held three world records during her career. She became the oldest swimmer to win an Olympic medal at the age of 41.</li>

 	<li><strong>Adam Peaty:?</strong>Including the British swimmer on the list may raise a few eyebrows but Peaty is the breaststroke swimmer in the world. He has all the top 10 times in breaststroke.</li>
