In swimming, you apply a force to the water to move yourself forward. the greater the water pressure, the faster you can swim. this can best be explained by one of newton's laws of motion that states a) for every force on an object that object exerts an equal and opposite force back. b) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. c) the net force equals the mass times the acceleration of and object. d) energy cannot be created or destroyed on changed forms.
