First off, I'd consider dancing a sport because you have to apply yourself and prolly break a sweat. I can't answer what makes a sport a sport, but it's definition would prolly include what I just stated. Secondly, swimming IS a sport. Have you actually ever tried to competively swim? You can swim against yourself, yes, but your competing against your best time if doing that. If against other people, you're competing against them AND your best time. I doubt that a sport is just the competition of another person.

I've been doing Scottish highland dance for seven years and I compete in it. However, I would call it a sport even if I just did classes. As bluedemocrat said, dance is physically exhausting. Have you ever tried jazz? That is tough. I can tackle any of my guy friends' down as well as they can tackle me down during pick-up games and all my strength comes from dance.

I'd say it is a sport. It is physically exhausting. You can compete with yourself to improve.

___Dancing is not a sport. Being talented at something does not automatically make it a sport(like singing).
___A sport is a competitive physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs. Basketball is a sport. Swimming is not a sport. A person can be swimming and time themselves without the element of competetion. But, you cannot play a game of basketball all by yourself. The whole aspect of what makes a sport a sport is playing it while competing against somebody else at the same time. If you're an idiot who insists that swimming is a sport, then you're either thinking of water polo(which is a sport)... or you're just an idiot.
