Question

swimming coach yuki has prepared a presentation to encourage more people to swim for exercise. here is her thesis statement: swimming provides a better workout than walking. which three ideas can she use to support her thesis? swimming offers a full - body workout because it uses a wide variety of muscles. swimming is not a weight - bearing exercise, so even people with weaker joints can do it. swimming makes people more flexible, but it does not improve bone strength. swimming tones and strengthens the muscles because the body must push against the water. swimming is great exercise, but not everyone has access to a pool.

Explanation:

The coach wants to show swimming is a better workout than walking. Statements that highlight the benefits of swimming as a workout are relevant. A full - body workout using many muscles (first option) and muscle toning and strengthening due to water resistance (fourth option) support this. The second option about it not being weight - bearing is not really a positive for showing it's a better workout compared to walking. The third option about not improving bone strength is a negative. The fifth option about pool access is not related to the workout quality.

Answer:

• Swimming offers a full - body workout because it uses a wide variety of muscles.
• Swimming tones and strengthens the muscles because the body must push against the water.
