The history of swooping
Swooping is a very new form of skydiving, so the history of this sport has to date back to skydiving, itself. Skydiving has roots back to the very first ideas that humanity had regarding flying. It was thought that with a balloon or parachute it might be possible to fly. Now, however, it's known that parachutes are mostly good for slowing a fall, this is where the sport started.
Between World War I and World War II, parachuting started to become more and more popular among people who were not soldiers. These people at first started out just using old ex-military equipment. This was good enough at first, but it was discovered that there were several changes that could be made to the equipment in order to improve the steering of the parachute.
Eventually it was also discovered that it is much easier to skydive safely if you jump out of the plane in certain positions. Skydiving, while it was still only a sport for the brave, gradually became more and more popular over the years. In 1950, it was considered to be an aeronautical sport, and now there are
hundreds of competitions and skydiving schools all over the world.
Of course, after a while even the most exciting sport gets a little bit boring. Swooping is just another way for people to make skydiving more interesting - it's more of an evolution in skydiving techniques than it is its own sport. Even so, there are a lot of people for whom swooping is the sport of choice.
It is not really known when swooping first started, though it definitely began during the past 20 years. It was a mixture of people looking for a new type of skydiving, as well as the result of new, high performance parachutes. These parachutes allow so much control that a lot of people are able to make sudden turns right before they land. Once it was discovered that this was possible, a new sport began. Swooping is currently gaining in popularity, and there is now a large and growing following for this sport all over the world.
