Swimming

First it is a common misconception that things "float" in space. Actually everything in space is in a freefall, and when things freefall they appear to be weightless. There is no way to escape gravity, and anything that mass mass has gravity, even if you were a millin lightyears away Earths gravity would still affect you it would just be very very weak . Astronuts in the space shuttle "float" bcease they are so high up that they are falling around the Earth.

during any athletic activity you burn calories. the body notices they are being burned and signals your body to take in more. swimming may not feel very difficult, or not make you tired easily, because it is low impact and it's hard to sweat

Yes, it is possible to overheat while swimming due to factors such as prolonged exposure to the sun, high water temperature, intense physical activity, or inadequate hydration. It's important to stay hydrated, take breaks, and seek shade when swimming in hot weather to prevent overheating.

Depending on the age of the child I would generally start by lifting them slightly and going into the water forehead first and then goggles first. practice holding their breath for 6 seconds then breathing out.

For an older child complaining that the water goes up their nose when doing freestyle this will happen as they role out for a breath and it is due to in correct technique. The head and arm need to be together when they role out and you want to be able to see that their mouth is on the same plane as their eyes AS they roll out. In other words you could draw a level line from forehead to chin.

Nose plugs are probably a bad idea because they don't teach your child how to adapt to the water but how to overcome it. Also promotes incorrect technique. Once the nose plug is gone, in goes the water because the child hasn't learned what to do. Same goes for inflatables that parents like to have their children wear; you can't learn to be a strong swimmer by floating.

blowing bubbles through your nose and humming a song usually does the trick!

It's hard to discribe!!! Basically, you just flutter kick while bringing one arm from your hip and into the air until it is by your head, then back to your side underwater while the other arm comes out of the water like the first one. It's very confusing at first, especially if you've never seen someone swim it. GOOD LUCK!!!!

To get started, just practice lying on your back and flutter kicking, trying to keep your legs straight and get power from moving your legs at the hips. To add your arms, start with them at your sides, swing one arm over head, entering the water palm out with your pinky entering the water first. Pull through the water just below the surface back to your hip. Start your next arm when the first is almost back at your hip.

best one piece of advice for backstroke is to keep your chin up!! act like you're looking behind you. It'll feel weird at first, but it'll make your butt come up and streamline your body, resulting in far less drag and an easier time swimming.

go to youtube and search BACKSTROKE SWIMMING then watch how they swim...i know it will help

Overweight individuals may find it more challenging to swim due to decreased buoyancy and increased drag in the water. Additionally, reduced overall fitness and mobility can contribute to difficulties with swimming efficiently. It is important for overweight individuals to focus on building water confidence and stamina through gradual practice and exercises tailored to their abilities.

Less muscle

also some girls are better swimmers than boys, more girls learn to float than boys. also maybe the girls you know are fat. fat floats and what that person said, less muscle, and less weight.

To be more specific, girls have a higher average body fat percentage than boys (a higher BMI). As fat is far less dense than muscle or bone, those with a higher BMI will float better than those with a low one. Scientifically, human fat has a lower density than water, while both human muscle tissue and bone have a density greater than water. A big cause of the difference between the two is the 5-10 lbs most girls' breasts weigh, vs the non-existent breast tissue in boys. Breast tissue is mostly fat and similar low-density flesh. For comparison, a top girl swimmer will have a body fat percentage of 8-10%, while a top boy swimmer will have 3-5% body fat.

in America about 36% percent of people can't swim and world wide about 54% can't swim.

2nd answer:

People don't tell them that. While a small percentage will still not like the water, most people have to be told how to float before they how to then use their limbs.

People try to mimic others by dog paddling not knowing how to stay afloat any other way. It doesn't work.

So, tell your friends that don't know how to swim, "keep your lungs at least half full to stay buoyant".

It's difficult to provide an exact number, but swimming is a popular sport globally. Major events like the Olympics often attract a large viewership. Television ratings, online streaming data, and event attendance numbers can give an idea of the sport's popularity.

pros- you'll be learning something new, you get exercise, get stronger lungs, will have a longer amount of time in the water before you drown, you can save people from drowning, or teach others how to swim. Because if you know how to swim it is quite relaxing and being able to move in the water is actually kind of fun.

cons- you will learn you cannot breathe under water, this may cause coughing. opening your eyes under water might infect your eyes ( small or large) depending on your eye condition. chlorine might be irritable to the skin if there is too much of it in the water.. also it may put a dye in your clothes if it is too strong.

No, not all sunscreens offer the same level of protection. Different sunscreens have varying SPF (Sun Protection Factor) levels and protection against different types of UV rays (UVA and UVB). It's important to choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and broad-spectrum protection for optimal sun protection.

If each lap is 25 yards you must swim 70.4 laps to reach one mile.

Butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, freestyle is the order for swimming an individal medley. However, when swimming the medley relay, the order is: backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle.

It is generally recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after eating before swimming to allow for proper digestion and reduce the risk of cramps or discomfort while swimming. However, individual tolerance may vary, so it's important to listen to your body and adjust as needed.

I really don't think there is a 8 and under 25metre breaststroke OK. You can't even compete at the Olympics or any national competitions when you're that old!

Susie Maroney swam a record 197 km (122 miles) from Mexico to Cuba in 2004.

This question has been answered on Answers.com many times before. But, again, here it is:

The world record for the men's short-course 50 meter freestyle ('short-course' meaning the event is swum in a 25 meter pool) is held by Roland Schoeman of South Africa with a time of 20.30 seconds. It was swum at the 2009 South African Short Course Championships.

The world record for the men's long-course 50 meter freestyle ('long-course' meaning the event is swum in a 50 meter pool) is held by Cesar Cielo with a time of 20.91 seconds. It was swum at the 2009 Brazilian World Championships, which is organized and run by the Brazilian Aquatic Sports Confederation (CDBA).

100 meter freestyle long course (50 meters) world records: Men: Pieter van den Hoogenband - 47.84 seconds

Women: Libby Lenton - 52.99 seconds

100 meter freestyle short course (25 meters) world records: Men: Stefan Nystrand - 45.83 seconds

Women: Libby Lenton - 51.70 seconds

14 minutes 34.56 seconds for long course lap swimming and 14 minutes 26.62 seconds for short course.

The 1.5 mile swim has been done in 40 minutes by two men in the San Francisco Bay. The names of these men are Gary Emich and Steven Hurwitz.

Sylvia Ester's time of 57.9 for the 100-meter freestyle was not recognized as a new world record because the pool she swam in was missing handrails, which are required for ratification by the International Swimming Federation (FINA). Without proper equipment, the record could not be officially recognized.

Levis 501 Red Tab - Shrink to Fit, Levis 511 Red Tab - Slimfit, Levis 512 Red Tab - Slimfit and Levis 505 Red Tab (similar to 501, except with a zipper) the the best for swimming and diving. All of these are hydrodynamic - narrow - slim leg, close fit elsewhere and draw-up for good athletic support. These offer the same protection as a 1mm wet suit.

Add a neoprene or rash guard top for the famous "Top & Levis". Great with dive boots and fins for protection in open water against cuts, scrapes and stings.

1Km = 1000m therefore 5Km = 5000m.

5000/25 = 200 = 200 times.

No. If you have a problem with swimming or can't do it then it should not be forced or have to do it in school. If you don't know how to swim and the teacher is not paying attention then you or someone (who doesn't know how to swim) can drown. Therefore the school can get in big legal trouble and stuff like that.

Carp swim an average of between 20 to 30 feet deep but have been known to swim as deep as 50 feet. They basically will go as deep as needed to get to their food.
