Sport Report
Description
First, we chose a sport to report on and we had to write a full description in parts divided into names like, Field Diagram. This report also needed a history to see what was the purpose of playing this. Also you had to write down all main rules to the game you chose. We didn't choose the sport we knew too much of. This assignment helped me on how to make a report on something or just similar to sport.

Official Olympic Swimming Rules
History
In the prehistoric times, swimming was first recorded in the Stone Age paintings from around 7,000 years ago. Swimming competitions started in Europe around 1800 mostly using the swimming technique, the breaststroke. But because the British hated the splashing in the front crawl, John Arthur Trudgen added the scissor kick. Swimming was part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, in Athens. In 1908, the world swimming association, FINA, was made. The other way of swimming, the Butterfly, was developed in the 1930s and was first another version of the breaststroke. Later it was accepted as a different technique in 1952. (According to wikipedia.org)

The players use breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle, and backstroke; the three main techniques to swim.
