Well, isn't that a happy little question! Agility in swimming is like a gentle breeze guiding a bird through the sky. It helps you move smoothly and swiftly in the water, allowing you to navigate turns, adjust your strokes, and react quickly to changes in the environment. Just like adding a touch of color to a painting, agility adds grace and fluidity to your swimming technique.
yes infact they do , they need it to swim fast enough and to average there wind speed in the water and the strenght/power ,persistence they need or have to per filled in the water/pool/race [etc]
No way! i was reading some of the other answers on here and i feel agility might mean endurance or something. But if you mean agility in the terms of how quickly you can change direction than it is not necessary. I was a national swimmer for most of my life and i'm a 6ft girl so one of the least agile people you would ever meet. Definately didnt need agility to excell in swimming! Hope that helps :)
