14. How do fish swim?


Most fish swim by arching their bodies, and swishing their tails from side to side. The fish’s body and tail push against the water to propel it forward. The chest, back, and belly fins help with steering and braking. A gas-filled organ, called the swim bladder, keeps the fish buoyant in the water.
