Was there a scandal about Steve Lochte in Roch?

Considering that someone is talking directly about me and something that didn't happen i wanted to make sure i responded. If that is truly what the first responder thinks then you got some bad information.

Agreed. That's an extremely serious allegation without any proof.

I would hope that someone would be 100% sure before they put information online about what happened to a young girl. I can tell you 100% that Jessica Nixon was not involved in any sexual relationship with Steve lochte. Get your facts straight before putting that online.

Thank you for the further information. That's really upsetting.

Youre damn right there was. Coach Steve Lochte coached a team in Rochester called the MCC Marauders. He engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a then 14 year old girl named Jessica Nixon. She was the daughter of a prominant businessman in the rochester area who owned several KISS radio stations. To avoid scadel for the family, Mr Lochte was made to quietly get out of town forever which he promptly did. About time the truth came out.

Gatorades are also a good drink to drink because it helps replace lost electrolytes.

one of many lanes in a competition pool is about 10 feet wide. though I have been in one lane pools of 8 foot width that work just fine. one reason for the extra width in the multi lane pool is that when in heavy use, there is some overlap of hands/arms and the width is useful to avoid collision. also, during competition, the lanes are wide so that swimmers cannot draft off of one another. hope this helps aloha

How do you treat black algae in pool?

Finding Black algae in the pool is bad news for any pool owner. This stuff needs to be handled as quickly as possible, because if you wait it will turn into a major disaster.

How do you impress your water polo coach to give you more playing opportunities?

To be honest, the future of Water Polo does not look good. Each year since 2003, the number of water polo players globally has decreased by an average of 8500. This may be because of the reason that Water Polo is seen as a sport played by "queers", who enjoy wrestling other sopping wet men in thongs. Many ex-water polo players have revealed their fear of returning to public pools because of their scarred past, in which many were abused by fellow players. One water polo player has been labelled as a"perverted rabbit" after brutally "discreetly" abusing all the members on his water polo team.

How many calories do you burn swimming 1.4km?

It depends on a whole lot of factors... such as how long it takes you, what stroke you use. I swim 1km three or four times a week - and it takes me about 25-30 minutes and I do mostly freestyle. I log my swims at a swimming for fitness website and it calculates roughly my calorie usage. For me, a 1km uses about 220-230 calories. If I combine it with a bike ride to and from the pool (4km total) it burns an extra 150 calories. Keep on swimming :)
