Scenarios about 'swimming'
The practice and sport of self-propulsion through water using coordinated body movements, dating back to prehistoric times with evidence from Stone Age paintings. Swimming evolved from a survival skill to competitive sport, becoming part of the modern Olympic Games since 1896, while also serving recreational, therapeutic, and military purposes throughout history. In alternate timelines, variations in swimming techniques, aquatic technologies, or cultural attitudes toward water could significantly influence maritime societies and human adaptation to aquatic environments.
