Is swimming an intramural sport?
Intramural sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a set geographic area. The term derives from the Latin words intra muros meaning within walls, and was used to indicate sports matches and contests that took place among teams from "within the walls" of an ancient city (as opposed to a varsity team which competed with teams from other cities and towns). Today, "intramural" tournaments are still organized within a specific community or municipal area, between teams of equivalent age or athletic ability. For example, intramural sports programs are often organized on college campuses to promote competition and fun among the students. As for "extramural" or varsity games, these would be played by teams from different geographic regions or towns. Even Olympic sports would be considered "extramural" sports. Thus any sport can be intramural as it does not depend on the sport being played it simply depends on where the competitors come from
