Swimming

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. Getting rid of Black algae requires some hard work because it has a waxy coating that protects it against chlorine and algaecide. There is no easy way to get rid of black algae. It will take manual work , the right chemicals and vacuuming to eliminate this stuff To handle black algae spots you will need: a stiff pool brush, chlorine tablets and algaecide. These directions are not for a vinyl-lined pool. Do not swim in your pool during the black algae spot treatment. Shutting of the pool pump will help in preventing the further spread of the Algae during treatment, Each black algae spot needs to be brushed with a stiff brush in order to break the protective waxy surface. Use a chlorine tablet spot treats the black algae spot (not on vinyl lined pools). Then pour concentrated all-purpose algaecide on the spots Leave the dissolved algaecide and chlorine on the black algae spot over night. If you would rather use chlorine granules just get some old socks to put it in and place it on the spots instead On the following day loosen the dead algae spots and vacuum to waste. Do not put it through your filter, as there is no guarantee you killed all of it. Repeat the procedure for any further spots you see it because you need to stay on top of this stuff if you have been blessed with it. If there are still some black algae spots you should repeat the process. After vacuuming to waste set to rinse, rinse for a minute or so and then to filter start filter pump for circulation. Adjust pH. And keep the chlorine level adjusted to 7.2 - 7.6) to prevent it from happening again. Keep your chlorine residual at 1.0-3.0ppm.

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.

A pool or water area, swimmers, a towel

Yes by using a proper water proof bandaid.

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 :)

You should wait a day so none of the bacteria from the pool gets in your tooth.

No Jocks for SwimmersSwimmers do not wear jocks because they would just get in the way and hinder probably kicking mechanics. Answer:There is no way a jock would interfere with kickin or anything else a swimmer does. they are even less restrictive than a speedo.

But the thing is a speedo will give you all the support you need for swimming. there is no need to wear a jock with a speedo. So if the question is about "swim teams" then no, none of them wear jocks because they wear speedos. But a swimmer style jockstrap is good for wearing under board shorts.

I know a lot of guys who wear them under there shorts at the beach/pool for "erection control" for when they check out the hot girls.

Also, you should wear a swimmer jock anytime you are diviing, jumping into the water, skiing, to give yourself support..anytime your body hits the water you run the risk of your testicles hitting as well and seeing "stars" or possibly a testiculr contorsion. Trust me after having one and some minor surgery and not to mention the pain I stay strapped when I am in the water.

"jocks", in the sense of the typical cotton jockstrap or athletic supporter, are completely useless for swimming, in any form.

The cotton/lycra construction of the jock immediately stretches out when soaked with water, providing absolutely no support whatsoever. In fact, they can become a hazard, as they stretch out enough to become entangled in the legs.

A "speedo" or swimming brief, is what you should wear, even under board shorts when surfing or the like. These are tight-fitting nylon/lycra briefs (of similar design to cotton brief underwear). By design, they are very form-fitting, and will firmly hold the genitals in place and protect them from damage. Also (and I speak from experience), a properly fitting speedo will generally not become embarrassing should the wearer experience an erection, as the speedo will not stretch enough for the erection to become prominent. They can feel a bit constricting in such situations, however.

Sometimes the practice suits get loose after a few months so wearing a swimmer jock would be a great idea since they will fit under a speedo type brief.

Depends on where, when, how long, and how deep yopu want to go. A short while, in fairly warm water - just hold your breath and go under. Swimming goggles or a diving mask will let you see better.

A longer stay just below the surface, use a mask and a snorkel. If water gets cold, use a wetsuit, or a dry suit if it's really bad.

If you want to go deeper, use SCUBA gear.

It's mostly a swimmer's arms and hands, but of course, kicking is a part too. Those two things combined make up the most of the movement.

There are 1,609.344 meters in a mile. When 1 length = 1 lap, you would need to complete 64.3 laps to swim a mile.

swimmers wear bathing suits or speedos because the outfit helps them swim faster.

Swimmers wear suits. They wear suits because it reduces drag, compared to clothes. swimmers also wear a type of suit called jons. Thoes go to your knees and they help you drop several seconds. But they only last usually 15 wears.

The standard size for Olympic pools is 50m by 25m, so 75 meters would be one and a half laps.

Yes, having a broken nose does not effect your ability to swim!

It's not.

in individual medley or IM is when one swimmer does all four of the competative stroaks. for example, a 100 yard IM (assuming that the pool is 25 yards) would be one length butterfly, one length back, one length brest stroak and one length free style. always in that order. hope that helps in your next swim meet :-D

They wear a bra and some times a high rise dance thong or they don't wear panties at all

According to Steve Heighway, the Liverpool Academy Director, anytime a player is released, his club helps him find another team at a lower level of the pro game. Parents get a progress report twice a year from the coaching staff, and the player's school gets a copy of the report as well. The coaching staff works with the schools to monitor the players' academic progress. The academies are very much in tune with the needs and welfare of young players and do their best to look after them. All academies must employ not just fully qualified coaches, but also medical staff and educational and welfare officers who look after the off-the-field needs and education of the players.

When using a starting block in the Olympics swimming pools, the minimum water depth is 1.35 meters, which is 4.43 feet deep. From the end wall the depth can range between 1 meter to 6 meters, or 3.28 feet to 19.69 feet.

Here is the deal. a "salt water pool" IS a chlorine pool. Only difference is, on a chlorine pool u add chlorine. In a salt pool u add salt and a "Salt Generator" turns the sslt into chlorine... so really both pools use chlorine.... Just saves u the trouble of messing with chlorine and chlorine shocks..

The longest race in international competitive swimming (in a pool) is 1500 meters. It is 0.93 of a mile and is often referred to colloquially as "the mile." In the U.S., swimmers also swim the 1650 yard freestyle, which is also sometimes called "the mile."

In open water, there is a 1 mile race, but the world records differ from venue to venue. Thus, records are typically specific to the place -- there is no 1 record for entire world.

For the 1500 meter freestyle:

The world record for the long-course (50 meter pool) men's 1500 meter freestyle was set at the 2012 London Olympics by the Chinese swimmer, Sun Yang, with a time of 14:31.02. That is an average time per 100 meters of 58.07 seconds.

The world record for the short course (25 meter pool) men's 1500 meter freestyle was set by Australian swimmer, Grant Hackett, at the 2001 Australian Short Course Championships in Perth, Australia. His time was 14:10.10, making his average time per 100 meters 56.7 seconds.

The world record for the long course (50 meter pool) women's 1500 meter freestyle was set by U.S. swimmer, Kate Ziegler, at the 2007 TYR Meet of Champions in Mission Viejo, CA. Her time was 15:42.54, making her average time per 100 meters 1:02.84.

The world record for the short course (25 meter pool) women's 1500 meter freestyle was set by Danish swimmer, Lotte Friis, at an unnamed 2009 local club meet in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her time was 15:28.65, making her average time per 100 meters 1:01.91.

You feel lighter in water because water is heavier then air and nearly all of you is heavier then air, however when you get into the water parts of you want to float to the surface putting you under the impression that you are lighter.
