会 and 能

'我下午会去游泳'(=I will go to swim this afternoon,if we use '会' it means I have decided to go to swim this afternoon)

'我下午能去游泳'(=Maybe i will go to swim this afternoon,that means i have time and  do not need work this afternoon,and if i want to go to siwm i can go to swim ,if i want to go to play basketball i can play basketball this afternoon,I haven't made my decision. so we can say '我下午有空,我能去游泳,也能去打篮球' )
