Swimming

competition and practice caps will keep about 90% of hair dry. my thought is this: if it is an attempt to keep chlorine out of your hair, it is best to wet your hair with tap or bottled water first. hair soaks up water like a sponge, so if your sponge (hair) is saturated with low chlorine water, then not much else can get in to do damage. aloha

I'm not quite sure of the exact scientific method, but if the pool is to shallow than it would be a problem, because you could kick the bottom of the pool. I always find it easier to swim in water around 1.5m deep, because if its too deep it makes me work harder, because i want to stay afloat.

yes i cant explain but yes

There is no 500 backstroke swimming event.

The one that you will likely have to handle the most is chlorine. However, recently a new cleaner has come out that is made up of certain salts that are less harsh on peoples skin. Ask your local pool professionals about it.

They are caused by the molecular compound which forms forces of attraction between molecules making water hard as you hit. It only lasts for less than a second!

There are some really cool ones at japan swim shop (type it into google and you'll get it.) Also, jswimshop (please type that into google, also.) Make sure, if you're a woman, get the woman sizing and if you are a girl, get the "junior girls." I bought mine a bit to big (like a size) too big. I wear a 26 and I should have gotten the 24.

ALL countries are involved in Gymnastics.
Many countries do gymnastics such as the United States, China, Japan, France, Columbia, Russia, Romania, Canada, Australia, Germany, Greece and many, many others. The ones that are really big into gymnastics are China, the United States, Russia, Romania, and France.

4787.2 laps if the pool is 25 yards long. And 4377.4157 laps if the pool is 25 meters long...

Water won't crush you at any depth if you are able to fill your body cavities (lungs, middle ear, sinuses) with compressed air at the same pressure as the water. If you don't have compressed air to breathe you will have a very difficult time going more than 500 feet down without suffocating, not from the pressure, but from the time it takes to travel that far while holding your breath. In any event, your body will not have been crushed because it is mostly incompressible water.

If you don't clear your ears (equalize pressure in the middle ear) you can rupture an eardrum in the deep end of a swimming pool.

You can, but some people say it damages it. (My younger sister never takes hers out and they're perfectly fine.)

My mother once told me that if they are gold then you are fine because gold earrings do not rust so its better for the earring to stay pretty and for the skin of the pierced area. I think that taking a bath with some normal earrings humidity or water stays inside the pierced ear and the earring rusts making the skin affected by it causing you to have a bit of itchiness or a bit dark inside. But you never know. Maybe putting a layer of transparent nail polish might help on the loop part that you put your ear inside and secure it so it doesn't fall out. (just to kind of be clear i meant the poky side not the decoration (but you could))

The two strokes that are similair are freestyle and back stroke. Because it is on your back or facing forward.

There is no metabolic equation for swimmers because every swimmer swims at a different efficiency.

The easiest way to do it would be to check your heart rate somewhere towards the end of your 15 minutes. Do a 15-30 second count because your HR drops QUICK after exercise. (Subtract about 12 beats per minute from your heart rate (BPM) because your heart doesnt have to work so hard to return blood when under water and it will mess up the calculation if you dont compensate for this).

HR is nearly linear to the amount of oxygen you consume (VO2) so find a reference chart of VO2 vs Heart Rate online and see what your VO2 is at the exercise heart rate, which will be in the units "ml of O2/kg of body weight/min". From that, calculate how many Liters of Oxygen you consumed during the 15 minute swim using your body weight and minutes swimming. Once your have calculated the Liters of Oxygen you consumed you know how many calories you burned because 1 liter of oxygen = 5 calories burned.

If you know how to do math, its all right there :) The hardest part is finding the VO2 vs HR chart.

The ability of a human can tread water varies on many variables. The temperature of the water, a persons body fat, and the will to live. A marine has tread water for 22 hours in warm waters.

One lap is usually seen as there-and-back, so a lap is twice the length of the pool. So a lap in a 25 m pool is 50 m. 1.5 km is 1500 meters. 1500 / 50 = 30

It takes 30 laps in a 25 m pool to swim 1.5 km

Swim shops often offer a "grab bag" swim suit where you give them your size and they give you any one of their available suits. You do not get to choose which particular suit style or color you want. They are typically going to be older styles and non-popular colors, but they are going to be sold at a discount.

speed is not really important in swimming unless you are in a competition. As long as you can swim you do not really need to concentrate on how fast you are going but your speed will progress if you keep training. If you cannot swim then stay in shallow water and keep trying to learn how to swim.
