Unless they're on the very edge of a diving board, I don't think they do.
Yes, swimmers benefit from having a good sense of balance. They need to be acutely aware of their own position in the water, in the pool and in relation to other swimmers, whilst constantly moving their head to breathe. This can only come from an innate good sense of balance, which is essentially controlled from the inner ear.
What is the shelf life of Motrin?
I have found various shelf life indications claiming from 2 to 3 years.
(http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/datasheet/b/brufentab.htm)
One must also remember that a shelf life is an acceptable compromise by companies of two factors: 1. Efficacity of the product over time, and 2. protection from legal action by disavowing any complications or inefficacity after a set date. Thus the real shelf life is usually longer than claimed.
This question seems too easy, are you looking for something other than the oblivious 5.5 hrs of overtime? You mention the $11.95 per hour pay, plus time and a half for overtime, yet your question does not ask for any dollar amount. If you are looking for the total $ amount for the week, it is $ 478 in regular pay + $ 98.59 in overtime pay. This totals $ 576.59Or I have missed the point completely.

A pleural biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of the tissue lining the lungs and the inside of the chest wall to check for disease or infection.
Alternative NamesClosed pleural biopsy; Needle biopsy of the pleura
How the test is performedThis test does not have to be done in the hospital. It may be done at a clinic or doctor's office.
You will be sitting up for the biopsy. The health care provider will cleanse the skin at the biopsy site, and inject a local numbing drug (anesthetic) through the skin and into the lining of the lungs and chest wall (pleural membrane).
A larger, hollow needle is then placed through the skin and into the chest cavity. The doctor rotates the needle. At various times during the procedure, you will be asked to sing, hum, or say "eee." This helps prevent air from getting into the chest cavity, which can cause a lung collapse (pneumothorax).
The doctor removes the needle to collect tissue samples. Usually, 3 biopsy samples are taken. When the test is completed, a bandage is placed over the biopsy site.
How to prepare for the testYou will have blood tests before the biopsy, and you may have a chest x-ray taken. You must sign consent forms.
How the test will feelWith the injection of the local anesthetic, you may feel a brief prick and a burning sensation. When the biopsy needle is inserted, you may feel pressure. As the needle is being removed, you may feel a tugging sensation.
Why the test is performedPleural biopsy is usually done to determine the cause of a collection of fluid around the lung (persistent pleural effusion) or other abnormality of the pleural membrane. Pleural biopsy can diagnose tuberculosis, cancer, and other diseases.
Normal ValuesThe pleural tissues appear normal, without signs of inflammation, infection, or cancer.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results meanAbnormal results may reveal cancer, tuberculosis, a viral disease, a fungal disease, a parasitic disease, or collagen vascular disease.
Other conditions under which the test may be done include:
What the risks areThere is a slight chance of the needle puncturing the wall of the lung, which can partially collapse the lung. This usually gets better on its own. There is a chance of excessive blood loss.
Special considerationsIf a closed pleural biopsy is not enough to make a diagnosis, you may need a surgical biopsy of the pleura.

Medical fee codes (more precisely Procedure Code) are a form of standarization for medical billing. Each procedure has a unique code used to determine everything from pricing to eligiblity. If you went to 10 different doctors for a flu shot, generally every one of them would use the same Procedure Code to determine the appropriate fees. The fees may vary greatly but the code number should be the same. In a hospital the code is checked against what is called a Charge Master. This is a dB that says for any given Procedure Code what do they charge based on what the negotiated price is with your insurance carrier.
