Answer:

Why is agility important for swimmers?

Agility is important during tumble turns at the end of each length. I need to move my body quickly into different positions, moving from a flat outstretched swimming position, to a tight tuck to turn, then back to the swimming position after the turn. Mental fitness plays a vital role in long distance swimming.

Step-by-step explanation:

How does agility improve swimming?

To train for race day currents, swim through a strong current in an Endless Pool, or have your teammates create turbulence in the lane and focus on maintaining a body roll during which your shoulders and hips maintain complete coordination. This creates the foundational strength for the potential of swimming agility
