Usage Note
Nuoto is the sport of swimming and is uncountable, so it has no real plural. Don't confuse it with the verb form nuoto (I swim) from nuotare, spelled and stressed identically.
Examples
"Il nuoto fa bene alla schiena."
Natural Translation
Swimming is good for the back.
Literal Translation
The swimming makes good to-the back.
