Swimming

lol NO! i don't think so.......

It allows people to inhance the endurance and also helps to make you faster in a race because usually in intervals you increase the speed.

no.I dnt think so

Okay...i know that when i go to swim practice, i swim for a good hour and a half. i know that while im there(swimming constantly)i burn about 1200 calories. So, it doesnt matter how many laps you swim; its how long and how intense.

Your very welcome,

well if you want laps, you would have to swim 10-12 laps; there and back counting as one lap. So if you did that you would burn 500 calories, and if you were in a 25 meter pool you would have to swim about 20 laps; there and back counting as one.

Well, probably a minimum of 4' to 5' but can go to what ever depth you can attain. That min. depth is so that you do not touch the bottom of the pool if you are doing laps in a lap pool.

It can be any depth you want

he won the most gold medals in the 1972 Olympics in swimming (7)

200 lengths x 200 meters (40,000 meters) = 24.85 miles.

Sailfish can swim up to 70 miles per hour!!

There was a guy moveing his aarm's and he was [moveing and didnt know that at first.
Swimming wasnt discovered like other things. People have been doing it since the dawn of man. They would just go in a lake or stream...and jsut swim. Racing in swimming hadnt officially started until they started doing it in england.

It is used for emergencies when you run out of energy. I do this all of the time.

Many people have swam the English Channel.

On August 6, 1926, 19-year-old Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the 21 miles across the English Channel in 14 hours and 31 minutes

The English Channel has been swum many times, the first being Matthew Webb in 1875. As of 1979, there have been 819 crossers that made it- and 17 that swam both ways without stopping. .

It could be all the salt in the pool affecting her vision. Maybe you should have her eyes checked out to make sure that everything is okay and ask the eye doctor if you could give her any eye drops after she goes swimming to help your daughter. Good luck and God Bless:) A: the water chemistry must be out of balance

Every body can swim to some extent and the human body floats in water, what prevents some people from actually staying afloat is fear which causes the body to freeze up - if a human relaxes in the water then everybody can swim

They do. I had to order one for my above ground pool - they are just not popular, that's why they are hard to find.

As a lifelong swimmer, I've always thought of running to equal approximately 1/4 the workout of swimming, distance and time wise. A decent swimmer can swim 100 yards in about a minute at a sprint and a decent runner can sprint about 400 yards in about a minute. One mile is 1600 meters which equals 64 lengths (technically, a length is one way and a lap is down and back although most people use lap to mean just one way also) in a 25 meter pool. 400 meters swimming is 16 lengths= 1/4 miles swam which is the approximate equivalent to 1 mile run.

Well you just answered it yourself... 25 metres so 82.5 feet it + would have been quicker for you to have worked it out with a calculator but anyway...

The longest distance swam in a swimming pool race is 1500metres 60 lengths in 25 metre pool or 30 in a 50 metre pool

it is 10k if you are swimming in open water, which is, in fact, swam in the olympics.

Fastskins (as in the Speedo FS Pro or FS II) are currently legal according to FINA regulations.

Full body suits and polyurethane suits such as the old LZR Racer and a bunch of others were banned in 2009 after the FINA World Championships in Rome, but the ban didn't take full effect until 2010.

Because public swimming pools are run as a business. In business, the owner and staff have a 'duty of care' to ensure the safety of everyone on the premises.

The life-guards are there to rescue anyone who gets into difficulties while using the facility.

Pufferfish are poor swimmers but can quickly ingest huge amounts of water to turn themselves into a sharply pointed ball several times their normal size to defend themselves against attackers and predators.

Silicone caps are thicker and slightly larger butthey are the preferred material of swimmer. They keep their elasticity alot longer and have a smaller chance of breaking when putting it on.

Baquacil and Chlorine are not compatible and if added will turn the water green and throw off all of the other readings. The product that can be used to fix this is called Baquacil Chlorine Neutralizer. You also have to change the sand in your pump, or it will gum up

The acronym FINA stands for different things: - "F̩d̩ration Internationale de Natation", french for "International Swimming Federation". - Federation of Independent Nursing Agencies (in the UK). - Food Intolerance Network of Australia.

The ocean is very salty and salt dries out your mouth giving you the feeling that you are thirsty.

Actually, the reason is two fold:

(1) As with any exercise, you sweat while you swim, as a way to help cool your body, as exercise has increased the body temperature. It may seem amazing, but a typical competitive swimmer can easily lose several pounds of water weight during a typical day's 2 hour swim practice. This loss of water means you feel thirsty, in the same way that you would after an extended run. Look at most swim practices - swimmers will actually keep bottles of water at the end of the pool, and drink from them periodically.

(2) The human skin is not a waterproof barrier. The ocean, which contains a high concentration of salt, is out-of-balance with the water inside of the human body. As two adjacent volumes of a liquid with difference concentrations of a solute will try to balance themselves out, the low-salt water inside of the human body attempts to balance itself with the high-salt ocean water. Unfortunately, salt cannot be absorbed through the human skin, which means that the water inside the human body attempts to "balance" out the ocean water by diluting it (which, given the volume difference, is impossible). In effect, the salty ocean water "sucks" out water from the inside of the human body, as the two volumes attempt (futilely) to balance the salt concentration. This processes is slow, but not that slow. Thus, it is easy to become dehydrated while swimming in salt water, as the ocean literally sucks out the water from your body. A human being will die of dehydration while stuck swimming in the ocean far faster than they would by being in the middle of the hottest desert on earth.

Exacerbating (2), most people in the ocean manage to swallow a non-trivial amount (a pint or more) of ocean water if they spent any amount of time in anything other than completely calm water. The extremely high salinity of said water accelerates the dehydration process, as it sucks out water from the body into the digestive tract (to be eventually excreted in a couple of hours).
