Swimming

Intramural sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a set geographic area. The term derives from the Latin words intra muros meaning within walls, and was used to indicate sports matches and contests that took place among teams from "within the walls" of an ancient city (as opposed to a varsity team which competed with teams from other cities and towns). Today, "intramural" tournaments are still organized within a specific community or municipal area, between teams of equivalent age or athletic ability. For example, intramural sports programs are often organized on college campuses to promote competition and fun among the students. As for "extramural" or varsity games, these would be played by teams from different geographic regions or towns. Even Olympic sports would be considered "extramural" sports. Thus any sport can be intramural as it does not depend on the sport being played it simply depends on where the competitors come from

Kingdom ProtistaLittle creatures swimming around in a drop of pond water are called Protists. Protists are too tiny and small to be seen with the naked eye.

Yes - if the water is cold, you tend to swim faster because its colder and the cold makes the muscles tense up so you want to get out of the pool - if its hot, you might get relaxed and then you won't swim as fast.

Yes, you can wear a jockstrap with your boardshorts. You can wear jocks under any clothing. For swimming purposes you can purchase "swim" style jockstraps which have a thinner waist band making it easier.

***

I think the swimmer style jocks are more comfortable, and they can be a good call to wear under your board shorts.

***

Try the new Bike jocks. The waistband is bigger than a swim style jock but smaller than a old style jock. I surf wit it and its good.

****

You can were a jock under anything, including board shorts or you can "free ball" if you want. I would wear a swimmer style jockstrap, the waistband is narrower. Just my preference.

***

Check out helo shorts to wear under boardshorts. I get good support, and they're mad comfortable. Plus they dry out super fast which is clutch.

They usually swim at around 7 kilometres per hour but can go as fast as 35 kilometres per hour.

If 1 lap is going from Point A to B and back to A (a total of 50yds), then 1.2 mi is 42.24 laps.

A lap can be either 25 meters or 50 meters. In the Olympics and major National events the swim 'long course' which means the pool is 50 meters in length. However, there are still short course swim meets and the pool is only 25 meters. If you are talking about a track lap, it is 400meters! 25 METERS IT NOT THAT LONG. BUT WHEN YOU GET INTO IT YOU GET USED TO DOING MORE LAPS!!!

No! Are you nuts! What kinda parent are you!?

It can stain the plaster and reacts with chlorine in the pool (uses up chlorine faster and makes a black deposit). If it's not from the well water, then a galvanized pipe or part of a heater or pump is corroded. That can be expensive or dangerous if the part fails. It might be a good idea to check with your local pool supply company, or have a qualified pool service person check it out for you.

In a standard yard pool, 25 yards, it takes 66 laps.

It really depends on what kind of a swimmer you are. If you can swim really well, you can probably swim really far. If you can't swim at all, you won't swim very far. I hope this answers your question.

The best way to get ready for a 500-meter swim is to practice swimming. You also want to exercise regularly to keep in good shape.

mostly carbohydrates (sometimes proteins) such as porridge, pasta etc. as long as its not too heavy on the stomach.

The Empire Aquatics organization was founded in June 2007, by Ilan Noach, former coach of the YWCA Middies of White Plains, NY. After departing Middies, many families and coaches followed him, and began Empire. Empire Aquatics now owns Empire Swim Team, a team in the Metropolitan Division of USA Swimming, as well as Empire Swim School. Empire is primarily based at the Hackley School in Tarrytown, NY, and also practices at Manhattanville College in Purchase, the Tarrytown Sheraton, and the Saxon Woods Park Pool.

As far as I know, regulation dimensions for a short course pool is 8 lanes wide by 25 yards long. Long course pools are 8 lanes wide by 50 meters long. However, I have seen a lot of competitions in 6-lane pools, and some in 10- or 12-lane pools. One time, I went to a swim meet in a 4-lane, 20-yard pool, but that was pushing the limit.

Ian Thorpe won 3 golds and 2 silvers at the 2000 Sydney Olympics Games.

A regulation pool is 25 yards, so each lane is 25 yards long one way. That means you would go from one end of the pool to the other 40 times.

There are many definitions of surface diving. The most common is to go from the surface and dive to the bottom. Some people think it is different.

There are a wide variety of stores and online sites that sell fashionable swimwear. Such clothes can be purchased, for example, at American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Gilly Hicks, or Amazon.

Wearing floaties is awkward if you know how to swim. It is like being lifted up by the arms.
