Swimming

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.

She started swimming when she was four years old.

swimming was first played in 1896 at the first modern Olympic games in Athens.

Breaststroke is a fairly simple. After you have done your breaststroke pull-out, you will come up for air. You will then duck your head back into the water, you will assume the streamline position. After gliding for a second or two(less if you are racing.), you will scope your arms in a circular position(keep your hands visible. If you cannot see your hands, you are doing it wrong.) while simultaneously "frog kicking". Frog kicking is the action by which you kick your feet in a circular motion, bringing them back together very quickly. When you are bringing your feet back together, you should take a breath then your hands should shoot back in front of you into streamline position. You repeat those steps, and you'll be swimming breaststroke! Hope this helped.

you can jump in a pool as long as you can do it safely, if its no deeper then 3 ft i would advise against it unless there is an emergency and even then its always feet first, if your going to dive make sure its at least deeper then 4ft and its a shallow dive!

30 feet

Theres a few reasons for that. First, once you stop swimming, your body temperature will start to decrease because you aren't exerting anymore energy. Secondly, you're wet, so it is easier to feel cold, especially if there is wind. Thirdly, the pool water was probably cooler than your body temperature so it would cool you.

This all depends on the way you are going to use the wetsuit.

The cooler the water you will be in, the thicker your wetsuit should be. However, with thickness comes a loss of mobility. If the water isn't too cold, and mobility is a major concern, a springsuit would be a good choice (shorter legs/sleeves). But if the water is frigid a fullsuit would be the better choice.

Well for a competitive swimmer in longcourse it should be about 4-6 ( depends on age an level) so the average person that doesn't practice swimming probably 15 minutes if they could even finish it( depending on how physically fit they are and how their general technique is in swimming) 400 meters is a lot for someone who doesn't swim- thats 16 laps in a shortcourse pool and 8 in a longcourse.

depends on how it feels, if you can walk on it, and if you mean serious swimming.

but if i was you i would ask your doctor or GP next time you see them.

hope this helps :)

Practically every muscle in the human body. This is why it has been hailed as one of the most holistic exercise methods ever developed.
okay the muscles you use would all forearm extensors as well as flexers. tighten your fingers as if you were swimming and pulling your hand through the water. you will feel all the muscles in your forearm tighten. next you will use all your muscles in your upper arm as well: brachioradialis, brachialis, as well as the biceps brachii. and definitely your corocobrachialis......okay easy. you use them all. now your shoulders. obviously you will use your deltoids and your rotator cuff ( infraspinatus, supraspinatus, and teres min & maj) your back you use your trapizius and rhomboids for shoulder stabilization and your latissimis dorsi as well as all your abdominal and oblique muscles aid in rotation throughout the stroke. and just as easy you lower body: your gluteus maj. min, and medius all work as synergists to each other. the deep gluteal muscles ( piriformis, gamellis....) are mainly used in external rotation so you can forget about them. and your legs....any muscle that its' function is to extend or flex your hip, knee or foot are going to be used in swimming.
swimming is such a great workout BECAUSE it uses almost allyour muscles.
Here it goes: Thighs, calfs, biceps, triceps, every part of your back, heart, brain, lungs, abdomine, pecs, muscles in your feet , all the muscles in your hands, your wrists, your ankles, your jaw, your eyelids, your tounge, your fingers, your toes, your jaw, your neck.

30 i think that what my trainer said

I've been a competitive swimmer my whole life so I'm not quite sure how to explain it. Your arms move in the opposite direction while your legs remain straight and keep your toes pointed while you kick up and down rapidly.

You are probably allergic to something in the pool water. It might have had too much chlorine, or algae, or some other chemical that irritated your skin. Take some diphenhydramine ("Benadryl") and call your doctor if it gets worse or doesn't go away in a couple of days.

The perception that swimming was not healthy.
