Answer: Kinesthesia or kinesthesis

Explanation:

Kinesthesis or kinesthesia is the ability for us to perceive our body movements.

It is when one can detect their body movement without using the core five senses (vision, smell, touch, taste, and hearing).

When someone walks, runs, swims, drives or does whatever that needs you to move in all these instances one is using kinesthetic sense.

Kinesthesis allows us to differentiate locations of our body parts even when we are in the dark we know where our eyes are or feet or knees.

When you are swimming receptors will translate a message to your legs and arms to move in a certain way.
