Swimming游泳
個人混合式的順序是蝶、仰、蛙、自；接力混合式卻是仰、蛙、蝶、自。差別在於接力要從水裡出發。

11 個可以點的單字 · 可以隨時暫停、轉動場景
逐字稿（13 段）
- 1Welcome to the Olympic pool. It is 50 metres long. Olympic swimming has four strokes.歡迎來到奧運泳池。泳池長 50 公尺。奧運游泳有四種泳式。
- 2This is freestyle. You may choose any stroke, but everyone chooses front crawl because it is the fastest.這是自由式。你可以選任何泳式，但大家都選捷泳，因為它最快。
- 3This is butterfly, the newest stroke. Both arms come over the water together.這是蝶式，最年輕的泳式。兩隻手臂同時從水面上方揮出。
- 4In backstroke, swimmers face up. They count the flags above the pool to know when the wall is coming.仰式選手臉朝上。他們數泳池上方的旗子，知道池壁快到了。
- 5Breaststroke is the slowest. The arms move together under the water.蛙式最慢。兩隻手臂一起在水面下划動。
- 6In breaststroke and butterfly, you must touch the wall with both hands. One hand first will disqualify you.蛙式和蝶式必須雙手同時觸壁。先用一隻手碰到，就會被取消資格。
- 7The individual medley uses all four strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, then freestyle.個人混合式四種泳式都要游：蝶式、仰式、蛙式，最後自由式。
- 8An Olympic pool is 50 metres long, so a 100 metre race is two laps.奧運泳池長 50 公尺，所以 100 公尺是兩趟。
- 9Between the two laps there is one turn at the wall. A fast turn saves time.兩趟中間要在池壁轉身一次。轉身快，就能省下時間。
- 10After a start or a turn, you may stay underwater for at most 15 metres.出發或轉身之後，最多只能在水下待 15 公尺。
- 11Water pushes back about eight hundred times harder than air. Tight suits help reduce drag.水的反推力大約是空氣的八百倍。緊身泳衣可以幫忙減少阻力。
- 12Learning to swim is a life skill. Most drownings happen to people who never learned.學游泳是一項求生技能。多數溺水都發生在從沒學過的人身上。
- 13Now it's your turn. Turn the pool around and click on anything you see.現在換你了。轉動泳池，點點看你看到的每一樣東西。
Four Ways to Cross a Pool四種過池的方法
Olympic swimming has four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.奧運游泳有四種泳式：自由式、仰式、蛙式和蝶式。
Freestyle means you may choose any stroke, but everyone chooses front crawl because it is the fastest.自由式的意思是你可以選任何泳式，但大家都選捷泳，因為它最快。
Butterfly is the newest. It grew out of breaststroke in the 1930s when swimmers realised they could bring both arms over the water.蝶式最年輕。它 1930 年代從蛙式演變而來，當時泳者發現雙臂可以從水面上方揮出。
An Olympic pool is 50 metres long. A 100 metre race is therefore two lengths, with one turn.奧運泳池長 50 公尺。所以 100 公尺是兩趟，中間有一次轉身。
Rules That Catch People Out容易犯規的地方
- Touch the wall properly觸壁的方式
- In breaststroke and butterfly you must touch with both hands at the same time. Touching with one hand first is a disqualification, however fast you were.蛙式和蝶式必須雙手同時觸壁。先用一隻手碰到就是失格，不管你游得多快。
- Fifteen metres underwater水下十五公尺
- After a start or a turn you may stay underwater for at most 15 metres. Underwater dolphin kicking is faster than swimming, so the rule stops races becoming underwater events.出發或轉身後最多只能待在水下 15 公尺。水下海豚踢比游泳快，所以這條規則避免比賽變成潛泳。
- The two medley orders are different兩種混合式順序不同
- Individual medley goes butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. The medley relay goes backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle — because the backstroke swimmer needs to start in the water.個人混合式是蝶、仰、蛙、自。接力混合式是仰、蛙、蝶、自——因為仰式選手必須從水裡出發。
- Relay take-over接力交接
- The next swimmer's feet must still be on the block when the incoming hand touches. Leaving early disqualifies the whole team.前一棒的手觸壁時，下一棒的腳必須還在出發台上。太早離台，整隊失格。
- Long course and short course長水道與短水道
- A 50 metre pool is long course; a 25 metre pool is short course. Short course times are faster because there are more turns, and the two are recorded as separate records.50 公尺池是長水道，25 公尺池是短水道。短水道成績較快，因為轉身次數更多，兩者的紀錄分開計算。
The Four Strokes四種泳式
| Stroke 泳式 | Face 臉的方向 | Arms 手臂 | Speed 速度 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freestyle 自由式（捷泳） | Down 朝下 | Alternating 交替 | Fastest 最快 |
| Butterfly 蝶式 | Down 朝下 | Together, over the water 雙臂同時出水 | Second 第二 |
| Backstroke 仰式 | Up 朝上 | Alternating 交替 | Third 第三 |
| Breaststroke 蛙式 | Down 朝下 | Together, under the water 雙臂同時水下 | Slowest 最慢 |
資料查證至 2025 年底
蛙式最慢，因為手臂回位時整個在水裡推開水。蝶式辛苦但比蛙式快，就是因為手臂是從水面上方回去的。
Did You Know?你知道嗎？
- Michael Phelps won 28 Olympic medals, 23 of them gold — more than any other athlete in any sport.菲爾普斯拿下 28 面奧運獎牌，其中 23 面是金牌，比任何運動的任何選手都多。
- Backstroke swimmers count the flags above the pool to know when the wall is coming.仰式選手靠數泳池上方的旗子，知道池壁快到了。
- Swimmers shave and wear tight suits to reduce drag, because water pushes back about eight hundred times harder than air.泳者剃毛、穿緊身泳衣是為了減少阻力，因為水的反推力大約是空氣的八百倍。
- Learning to swim is a life skill before it is a sport — Taiwan is an island, and most drownings happen to people who never learned.學游泳在成為運動之前，先是一項求生技能——台灣是島，而多數溺水發生在從未學過的人身上。
