Physics 2: Newton's Third Law

While swimming one night this weekend, I began to ponder what was propelling me forwards in the water. Through some research and logical reasoning, I realized this was because of Physics! According to Newton’s Third Law, “To any action there is always an opposite and equal reaction; in other words, the actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal and always opposite in direction.” This means that for the force I pushed my hands and feet against the water, an equal and opposite force was created to push me forwards. The harder and faster I pushed then resulted in me going faster or creating a greater and equal opposite force. I am once again surprised to find another thing I always did to be related to physics, and have learned how to become a faster swimmer by grasping its underlying concepts.
