Individual Medley. That is when the swimmer swims butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle in that order in a certain amount depending on the event.

The world record of fastest swim time in 400 meters freestyle in Long course is 3:40.07 by Paul Biedermann of Germany, which he set in 2009 World Championships in Rome, Italy. In short course the record is held by Yannick Agnel of France, who recorded a time of 3:32.25 in 2012.

I swim at a local YMCA and this is the equipment that we use. There is a pull bouey, and that is a peanut shaped piece of styrofoam that floats. This is put in between a swimmer's legs so that they cannot kick. This improves upper body strength. There are also fins, which are flippers that we use to improve our kicking. Then there are paddles, which are pieces of plastic that are shaped to fit on a person's hand. Then you put the paddle on and your arms are faster. There is also a kick board, and that is a piece of material that you hold on to and kick. This improves your leg strength.

It's hard to answer this question. Not all swimmers attending the Olympics have to make the qualifying times. The Olympics awards wild card entries to countries without developed swimming programs. So there may be young swimmers competing who are not at the elite level.

However, here is other trivia on young swimmers at the Olympic Games:

The youngest swimmer ever to win a medal (as well as youngest to ever win a gold medal) is Kyoko Iwasaki of Japan who won the 200 meter breaststroke at the 1992 Barcelona Games. When she won, she was 14 years and six days old. She broke the previous record for youngest ever medalist, which was held by Krisztina Egerszegi of Hungary, who won the silver medal in the 100 meter backstroke at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

The youngest male swimmer ever to win a gold medal was Kusuo Kitamura, who won the 1500 meter freestyle at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles at the age of 14 years and 309 days.

Michael Phelps was the youngest Amercan male qualify for the U.S. Olympic team in 68 years when he went to the 2000 Games in Sydney at the age of 15.

Clean the leaves and rubbish from the bottom, clean the filtration system, clean out the leaf baskets, Make sure there is sufficient water in the pool to cover the static skimmer.

All pools are different after standing for a period of time so at this point I would take a

sample of pool water in a clean bottle from about an arms length down from the surface and take it to a pool shop where it can be tested and advice given depending on the results.

take a pair of boxer briefs, cut off the legs, and cut a triangle in the back. just look at a picture of a jockstrap to get the shape completely right.

How big the track is has bearing on the number of laps - a half-mile track would run 300 laps; a one-miler 150 laps; a 2.5-miler 60 laps.

People from swimming clubs go to swimming galas

Typically the general body type for swimming is short legs and a long torso. when you think about it your arms and midsection are the power house of your stroke and your legs are like the motor. You don't need long legs as long as they are strong. Look at Micheal Phelps, he is tall but his torso is longer than his legs and he is AMAZING.

No .. she doesn't I think she does because she said she did in the pre show interview : ) the Last interveiw i saw she said she didnt have one anymore

Gertrude Ederle was the first women to swim and make it across to English channel, At her first try her trainer pulled her, crying from the ocean waves, The very next year on August 6, 1925 she was ready to try again, She swam and swam on, Go to http://www.mamma.com/ to look up more, Mamma.com-Best search engine.

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.

---- Englishman Richard Cavill developed the modern features of the freestyle, including the overarm strokes and the flutter kick, back in 1902. Since Cavill lived in Australia at the time, the stroke was then dubbed "the Australian crawl." Prior to that time, the side-stroke was commonly used in swimming competitions. The freestyle stroke was later polished and perfected by Olympian Johnny Weismuller in the 1920s. ----

40 lengths of a 25m pool makes 1km

other than taking the paper filter out everyday and spraying it clean with a hose....nothing. Buy a better filter. It may cost $300-$400, but it will circulate the water faster and make vaccumming easier.

I'm not sure, but I live in Atlanta and the 9-10 Championship Record was like either 13, or 14 seconds, so the world record for 18 ups should be MUCH lower, probably like 6 or something.

tampons if you are swimming etc but if in the bath, nothing :)

I have a perm also and my hairdresser said atleast 2-3 weeks but looking at other websites where people have asked it they say only 3 hours, My local pool is opening today for the summer and its only been 1 week and a day and i havent decided yet if i will go yet or not. What im worried about is it turning my hair really frizzy or drying it out more than it already is.

In a 50 metre pool - 10 In a 25 metre pool - 20

I depends if it is a chlorinated pool. If so, wait 24-72 hours. If it is natural water, you do not have to wait.

because it has high technology swimwear fabrics which makes you swim faster.

i am a swimmer..before practice I usually eat a banana, apples, oranges or any fruit. The different fruits and vegetables help with the energy levels to keep a good pace in the pool. Before a race I usually eat the same fruits and drink ALOT of water because believe it or not we DO dehydrate in the pool! Gatorades are also a good drink to drink because it helps replace lost electrolytes.
