Olympics Swimming

David Kostelecky (Czech Republic) won the gold medal in men's trap shooting in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Ian Thorpe is the Best swimmer ever and he shouldn't have retired so young!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anthony Nesty of Suriname won the gold medal in the 100 meter butterfly at the 1988 Summer Olympics with a time of 53.00 seconds.

4x100 Meter Freestyle Relay NO DOUBT.

There is no single age limit in the Olympics. Each sport within the Olympics is administered by the sports governing body egg. the cycling is held to UCI rules, swimming to FINA etc.

The only age limits I am sure about is gymnastics, where the competitor must be 16 by the end of the calendar year in which a major event takes place, fencing is 13 and equestrian is 18.

You should be at least 12 to enter the Olympics.

It's easy to calculate how many laps to a mile. Just ask someone who's working there if the pool is 100 meters or 100 yards. One lap is always down and back. If the pool is in yards it's almost 9 laps, if its meters it's closer to 8 laps. Happy swimming!

Its the 100 meter by 70 meter field where rugby is played on. A rugby ground is a term used for all the facilities and the playing area - the pitch is where the game is played within the ground.

Michael Phelps first qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney Australia at the age of 15. This was his first appearance in the Olympics and although he did not win the 200m butterfly, he did make the finals and finished in fifth place.

Because they traditionally fill their mouths with the blood of goats or virgins, but FINA has banned this practice and no longer allows ritual sacrifice before a race. Now they must make do by placing filthy pool water in their mouths before a race, to appease their dark gods. Others say it's considered good luck to take in a bit of Ryan Lochte's powerfully golden urine before the big race.

Ways to swim 50m freestyle in a competition is:

1. After the dive you must do 8-10 kicks underwater (dolphin kick), as you are the fastest when you dive into the water, so you want to keep keep that pace for 3 seconds.

2. When you break from the water (the stroke that gets you started) you must (if you want to improve by 1 second) limit your breathing in the first length. What this does is to keep your body still so you don't have to breathe a lot: therefore making a faster swim.

3. When you take your first turn, make sure you keep streamlined. Do 4-6 dolphin kicks because you will go faster rather than just breaking the water when pushing off the wall. All your opponents will be tired and will miss out the kick, but doing the kick will make you half a body length faster than the other opponents who didn't kick.

4. Finally, a good tip is to finish fast and powerful at the wall as if you are tying1st place. You want to make sure you use absolutely all of your mettle and physical power to finish. Keep your head down (no breathing) and kick as much as you can.

so you can get a gold medal you know people have been dreaming and training their whole lives and don't you like swimming? its really fun!

olympic pool length is 50 meters. thus, 15 lengths would be 750 meters. finally, if you consider a lap a roundtrip, 7 1/2 laps would be .75 km. Keep in mind, many people mistakenly refer to 25 meter pools as olympic pools; just because someone is telling you it is so doesn't make it an olympic pool: they are rare.

I am a man but i know how one piece swimsuits feel because i have a interest in them and mine is a speedo crossback. They are made of soft fabric with 100% clorine resistance to,so it can give you a longer laster fit plus the elastic is much more stretchy and improved plus it has a superior shape retention.

The definition of an Olympic size swimming pool is 10 lanes each 2.5 meters wide, however to prevent the outside lanes being disadvantaged by having to compete with the waves bouncing off the sides of the pool only the middle 8 lanes are ever used.
