History of Basketball
The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891
in Springfield, Massachusetts by Canadian physical
education instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone
sport than football. The game became established fairly
quickly and grew very popular as the 20th century
progressed, first in America and then throughout the
world.
 Rule for Basketball
Basketball is played by 2 teams with 5 players each. You score by
putting the ball through the hoop.
Dribble or pass to move the ball. Players are not allowed to take more
than two steps after picking the ball up before shooting or passing it.
Points scored inside of the round arc on the floor are worth 2 points. If
you shoot and make the ball outside of the arc, it’s worth 3 points.
Games of basketball are divided into 4 quarters of varying length
depending on the level of play. When the game ends, the team with
the most points wins.

Proof of recreational swimming in ancient occasions has been
found, with the most reliable evidence dating to Stone Age
artworks from around 10,000 years prior. Composed
references date from 2000 BC, with probably the most
reliable references to swimming including the Iliad, the
Odyssey, the Bible, Beowulf, the Quran and others. In 1538,
Nikolaus Wynmann, a Swiss educator of dialects, composed
the first book about swimming – The Swimmer or A Dialog
on the Art of Swimming.
Rule for Swimming
In every event, swimmers must make contact with the wall as
they turn. In freestyle and backstroke, swimmers may
somersault as they reach the wall, touching it only with their
feet. In butterfly and breaststroke, swimmers must touch the
wall with both hands simultaneously before executing the
turn. Just like after the start, swimmers must resurface and
make a stroke within the first 15m after making a turn.
