Agility in swimming refers to the ability to quickly and efficiently change body positions and movements in the water. It allows swimmers to adapt to different strokes, turns, and race strategies with ease. Improved agility can lead to faster transitions, better technique execution, and overall performance enhancement in competitive swimming.

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.

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 :)
