What do you think water resistance is?
If you have ever walked through water, you will have felt the effects of water resistance pushing against you.
However, this also helps you to swim, as when you push against the water with your hands, the water resistance pushes back and helps you to move forward, like using oars to push against the water to row a boat.
It is possible to reduce the effects of water and air resistance.
Objects that do not experience much water or air resistance are described as streamlined.
