Чем отличается Present Continuous от Present Simple? Помогите пожалуйста... и обязательно своими словами!!

Плавание это самый полезный вид спорта.Оно имеет необычайно давнюю историюЕщё Древними славянами проводились соревнования по плаванию, суть их была такова: люди плавали в реке и ловили рыбу руками, тот кто приносил на берег самую крупную рыбу, того и считали победителем. Эти соревнования совсем не похожи на современные, но тем не менее, умение плавать имело в них решающее значение.
