how to say "to swim the crawl" in Hebrew...


To swim, in Hebrew, is לִשְׂחוֹת (lees-KHOHT). The act of swimming is שְׂחִיָּה (skhee-YAH).

To row or to paddle is לַחְתּוֹר (lahkh-TOHR). The act of rowing or paddling - or swimming the crawl (which resembles rowing in its movement) is חֲתִירָה (khah-tee-RAH).




For example... אֲנִי אוֹהֵב לִשְׂחוֹת חֲתִירָה (ah-NEE oh-HEV lees-KHOT khah-tee-RAH) - I like to swim (the) crawl.

  1. I don't seem to have access to the "request" document. So I'll just put in my request here. My sons want to know what is the difference between sharav and chamsin. (I wonder why these words are on their minds???)

    Keep cool, and Shabbat shalom,
