Is Kirsty Coventry competing in the Olympics from Zimbabwe in swimming?
Yes. She competes for Auburn University, and has won a Silver and Bronze medal for swimming, in the 2004 Olympics. These are Zimbabwe's 2nd and 3rd medals ever. The first was for field hockey, in 1980 (a boycotted Olympics). Fambai zhakanaka! Her events were: 100-meter Backstroke (SILVER) 200-meter Individual Medley (BRONZE) Tatenda! Personal: Full name is Kirsty Leigh Coventry ... Parents are Rob and Lyn Coventry ... Born Sept. 16, 1983 ... Hometown is Harare, Zimbabwe ... First Zimbabwe swimmer to win an Olympic Medal... Kirsty Coventry hopes the swimming medals she won for Zimbabwe at the Olympic Games will lift people's spirits in a country engulfed in political and economic chaos. Don't forget, there's still the 200-meter backstroke (on August 20), where she is also a medal contender! Definitely she is a represantative of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a multi - racial Country and Kirsty is a native of Zimbabwe. She is just studying in the USA but that does not make her an American. People should appreaciate the good from our nation and avoid treating every good thing from Zimbabwe in negative terms. Is Gatlin competing from America? Absolutely.

Is swimming laps such as the backstroke breaststroke and butterfly stroke a good fat burner?
No matter what stroke you do, you will be getting great exercise, but it's important to vary your workouts and to challenge yourself - avoid sticking to slow lap swimming, or you wont burn much at all!. Try to swim 3-4+ times a week and eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your muscles (e.g. pancakes for brekky, a sandwich for lunch and pasta for dinner).
Try and swim 1-3km per session.
Also, the more you move your body and work hard, the more you will burn. However, it is important to keep good technique with each of your strokes.

TURNS
1)Open Turn
2)Back-flip Turn or One handed open turn
3)Open Turn
In any individual medley (IM) you do three turns. After the butterfly you do an open turn and switch to backstroke. An open turn is when both hands touch the wall and then grab the wall and switch directions. There are two turns that you can do after the backstroke. You can either do a one handed open turn, or a back-flip turn. A back-flip turn is where you touch the wall and then use your hand to flip you around in the water and then push off to breaststroke. After the breaststroke you just do another open turn like the fly to back turn.
