Olympics Swimming

Ian Thorpe won 3 golds and 2 silvers at the 2000 Sydney Olympics Games.

Grant Hackett grew up in Georgetown, Ohio. Grant was on the 2008 Australian Olympic team and is a retired swimmer.

the Olympics do not swim. They are held. Usually on a 4 year basis. Dolphins swim. So do fish. Olympics do not.

She started swimming when she was four years old.

Breaststroke is a fairly simple. After you have done your breaststroke pull-out, you will come up for air. You will then duck your head back into the water, you will assume the streamline position. After gliding for a second or two(less if you are racing.), you will scope your arms in a circular position(keep your hands visible. If you cannot see your hands, you are doing it wrong.) while simultaneously "frog kicking". Frog kicking is the action by which you kick your feet in a circular motion, bringing them back together very quickly. When you are bringing your feet back together, you should take a breath then your hands should shoot back in front of you into streamline position. You repeat those steps, and you'll be swimming breaststroke! Hope this helped.

Kosuke Kitajima,

the Japanese guy who was champion for both 100 and 200m breaststroke olympic (Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008)

4 gold medals in breaststroke

He broke the world record in 2008 Olympic, but then, the former world record holder who comes from Australia, Brenton Rickard broke his record for 100m breaststroke with a time of 58.58s in Rome Italy, which i believe should be the world tournament

he started swimming when he was a little kid but he got serious and started focusing on it in high school. He always says that you don't have to be fast from the beginning. He always fooled around at swimming when he was little but look at him now.

sre is the skill related fitness example like, balance, co-ordination, reaction time, power, speed, agility they all are needed to improve our skill in sports and playing well in the games.

sport and games... ofc its different sport is physical activity and games is a competitive of a tournament

By the swimmer's seed times coming into the race.

The middle lanes are the fastest, and the outer lanes are progressively slower (that's why the swimmers often seem to be in a V shape)

To be specific, the swimmer with the fastest time swims in lane 4, 2nd fastest in lane 5, third fastest in lane 3 fourth fastest in lane 6 fifth fastest in lane 2 sixth fastest in lane 7 seventh fastest in lane 1 eighth fastest in lane in lane 8.

Method:

50m length 25m width 2m depth

50x25x2=2,500 cubed (3) 1l= 0.001m cubed (3) so 2500x1000 = 2,500,00 L

The volume of 1 pint is 0.4731764736

1 pint= 0.57 L

Interesting facts: * swimmers wear noseclips * swimmers cannot touch the pool bottom at all during routines (even when they are throwing girls into the air) * for competition swimmers put knox gelatin in their hair * underwater speakers are used

I hope this will help. The pool in Federal Way that was first used in the 1990 Goodwill games has a diving well 75' x 58' and a depth of 17'.

The team from the Netherlands (Inge Dekker, Ranomi Kromowidjojo, Femke Heemskerk, Marleen Veldhuis, Hinkelien Schreuder, and Manon van Rooijen) won the gold medal in the women's 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay swimming event in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Salaries for professional golfers vary widely based on the number of tournaments they enter and win and the number of endorsements/sponsors they have.

Tiger Woods, the highest paid athlete in the world, earned $110 million from 2008 to 2009 from both tournament earnings and sponsorships.

Great Britain won 5 gold medals at the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona:

1) Sally Gunnell - women's 400 meter hurdles

2) Linford Christie - men's 100 meter dash

3) Chris Boardman - men's 4000 meter individual pursuit cycling

4) Steven Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent - men's coxless pairs rowing

5) Jonny Searle, Greg Searle, and Garry Herbert - men's coxed pairs rowing

Swimmers don't get paid much, as they have to be 'amateur' to compete in the Olympics. Most of their money is made from other jobs, and if their good enough advertising and sponsors. (Commercials, magazines, ads, etc.)

Michael Phelps who participates in the summer Olympics has won the most amount of medals (14). In the winter Olympics, Apollo Ohno the speed skater.

See the related link below for a more in depth answer.

An Olympic swimming pool usually has 8 lanes, but sometimes has up to 16.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are scheduled for Vancouver (Canada) and the 2014 Winter Olympics are scheduled for Sochi (Russia).

you probably would some flowers and a great story to tell your kids.

Back in 1987 B.C. a little-known Neanderthal named Moog Weissmuller accidentally fell from a high cliff into a deep body of water. Upon discovering that he could not breath while under the water, he quickly realized that by flailing his arms and legs in an organized manner, he could basically stay alive. Thus the invention (perfected over time) was to become known as "swimming." As a side note, unknown to Moog, Ugh Spitz observed Moog's fall and thought it must have hurt when he hit the water on his back. After some practice and multiple painful attemtps, Ugh was able to enter the water from high cliffs barely causing a splash! He and Moog decided to call Ugh's perfected method "diving." Fortunately, Moog was able to position himself in the water to save Ugh during his many attemtps, as Ugh had not yet developed Moog's staying-alive-in-the-water techniques.
