When expecting more swimmers in your pool than normal a higher dosage of what is suggested?
clorine
Could you explain the difference between sentences 1.Those swimmers could have drowned if passers-by hadn't raised the alarm 2.Those swimmers would have drowned if passers-by hadn't raised the alarm?
In sentance 2 it says that they would have drowned and they would not have had a chance to survive but in sentance 1 it says that if they had not helped, the person would have possibly drowned but might have survived
Are men or women better long distance swimmers?
Between any 2 subjects...one male and one female....given both are in equally good condition and good swimmers.....women tend to have an advantage due to naturally higher body fat, and the distribution of that fat (according to the below reference). Basically, it provides more buoyancy and (in cold water conditions) better insulation. The better buoyancy allows more energy to be dedicated to forward propulsion, rather than simply staying afloat. In sum, women are simply "built" for distance swimming.
Why is whirlpool dangerous?
Whirlpools can be dangerous due to their powerful currents and the potential to trap objects or individuals. The strong water movement can quickly pull someone underwater, making it difficult to escape. Additionally, whirlpools can create hazardous conditions for boats and swimmers alike, leading to accidents or drowning. It's essential to avoid areas known for whirlpool activity, especially in turbulent waters.
What scenario is the best example of tension?
A mother is awoken in the night by a clanging doorbell and flashing lights
Who shaves Olympic swimmers?
themselves.
What is the total number of competitive swimmers in the UK?
A total of 541 athletes, 279 men and 262 women are competive swimmers in the UK.
Which sea creature did engineers adapt ideas to reduce friction and improve time for competive swimmers?
Engineers adapted ideas from the skin of sharks to reduce friction and improve performance for competitive swimmers. Shark skin has tiny, tooth-like structures called dermal denticles that create a turbulent boundary layer, minimizing drag as the shark swims. By mimicking this texture in swimsuit designs, manufacturers have been able to enhance swimmers' speed and efficiency in the water. This biomimicry showcases how nature can inspire innovative solutions in technology and sports.
Is friction useful to swimmers?
Friction is not particularly useful to swimmers as it can create drag, slowing them down in the water. Swimmers aim to reduce friction by wearing smooth swimsuits, shaving body hair, and using techniques to streamline their body position to move more efficiently through the water.
How many hours do the olympic swimming people train for?
This answer depends on the competitive level of the athelete at hand. Anywhere between 10-30 hrs for competitive swimmers
Are men stronger swimmers then women?
to some extent yes they usually have faster competitive swim times
Is an lZR suit a swimming suit?
It is an LZR. It is a brand of performance enhancing swim suit for competitive swimmers.
Are penguins are good swimmers?
Yes, penguins are good swimmers. Their wings were made to paddle themselves through the water, and their tail acts as a rudder.
What product of modern technology has helped professional swimmers improve their racing performance?
The fastskin speedo swimsuits have changed the way that swimmers race in 1913 swimmers used to wear woolen swim suits but now because of the change in technology companies such as speedo can make swimsuits that cause less friction.
Do competitive swimmers pee in the pool at practice?
Yes, competitive swimmers often do pee in the pool during practice. The combination of cold water and the physical exertion of swimming can trigger the need to urinate. While many swimmers try to avoid it, the reality is that it can happen, especially in lengthy training sessions. Pool chemicals, particularly chlorine, help mitigate any potential hygiene issues, but it's generally considered a common, albeit unspoken, occurrence.
What are the different strokes involved in competitive swimming?
In competitive swimming, there are four main strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each stroke has specific rules and techniques that swimmers must follow to compete effectively.
What should a competitive swimmer eat before competition?
NOTHING! If swimmers eat before a competition, they might get cramps.
