The line graph illustrates the attendance rates in three different sports clubs in the UK, including swimming, team sports, and gym activities, from 1983 to 2003.
Overall, involvement in swimming declined significantly over this period, while there was a substantial increase in participation for gym activities. In contrast, team sports maintained a stable percentage throughout the years. At the beginning of the twenty-year period, engagement in swimming surpassed that of the other sports; however, by the end of the period, team sports became the most popular option.
Regarding swimming, the participation rate started at around 50% in 1983 but dropped noticeably to approximately 15% by 1998. It then levelled off until 2003. In comparison, gym activities began at only about 5% in 1983 and surged, reaching a peak of around 25% in 1998, after which the proportion remained steady for the 3 following years.
Meanwhile, a fluctuation was witnessed in the number of club members engaging in team sports, with the figure oscillating between 32% and 40% from 1983 to 2003.
