I move without legs and glide with grace, in pools and seas I find my place.
I’m full of water but never sink, with lanes and dives, what do you think?
I go up and down but stay in one place, helping swimmers win the race.
I’m made of rubber and worn on your feet, I help you swim with power and speed.
I go on your face to help you see, under the water, clear as can be.
I’m a stroke that looks like flying, with arms and kicks that keep you trying.
I float on top, I never dive, I keep beginners safe and alive.
Though not a boat, I help you float, I’m soft and long, what’s your note?
I’m not a bird, but I flap a lot, I help you move in a swimming spot.
You dive in me, you splash around, but outside me, you’d better not drown.
I’m part of the body, used with a beat, I kick and flutter and never retreat.
With breath I go, without I stop, used in water, not on top.

I’m made of rope and float just right, I keep the swimmers in their lane tight.
I’m used by lifeguards, red and bold, I help save lives — brave and cold.
I’m on your head but not your hair, I help you swim with less drag in there.
With me you float, I help you stay, around your chest or waist I lay.
I make waves though I’m not the sea, I pump and churn electrically.
I’m cold and blue or warm and clear, you dive in me with little fear.
You hold your breath and take the dive, I show how long you stay alive.
I’m the judge at every turn, watching swimmers stroke and churn.
I’m the first thing you should do, stretch and loosen before the pool.
