Swimming

25 meters = 0.01553428 mile, or 1 mile = 1609.344 meters. So 64.37 lengths of a 25 meter pool is a mile. It should be noted that in the US 25 yard pools are much more prevalent than 25m pools; the opposite is true at the 50m length. At 1760 yds/mile there are 70.4 25yd lengths in a mile.

I wouldnt necessarily call it "Fatty" Food that swimmers need. Swimming is a sport that requires many muscles and parts of your body to work in a near-perfect harmony so that you can swim faster. This burns many many many calories per day depending on how much you swim. To keep a swimmers daily calorie intake normal and balanced after burning 1100+ calories a day; that swimmer must eat how ever more calories it has burned then usually so that each day they intake around 2000 calories.

A swimmer who has to eat extra calories a day ( like me ;] ) can eat whatever to keep its daily intake back on track. This could be done by eating Cupcakes and burgers all day or eating things like pasta, or other Regular food. Usually it will be found that swimmers don't eat fatty foods to re-gain calories because if your competitively swimming later that day - it doesn't feel that good. The best thing for a swimmer to eat is Pasta before they swim.

Hope that helped!

Backstroke or back crawl is one of the four swimming styles used in competitive events regulated by FINA, and the only one of these styles swum on the back. This swimming style has the advantage of easy breathing, but the disadvantage of swimmers not being able to see where they are going. It also has a different start from the other three competition swimming styles. The swimming style is similar to an upside down front crawl or freestyle. Both backstroke and front crawl are long-axis strokes. In individual medley backstroke is the second style swum; in the medley relay it is the first style swum.

Basically, the Russian team. Anastasia Davydova won 5 gold medals between 2004-2012, Anastasia Ermakova won 4 gold medals and these: Olga Brusnikina, Mariya Gromova, Natalia Ishchenko, Elvira Khasyanova, Mariya Kiselyova and Svetlana Romashina, each won 3 gold medals. After the Russian team, these teams are also the best in synchronized swimming: Spain, Canada and China.

it was made out of rubber.

could it have been made of hair.

It is 8,000 meters and a one and a half hour's walk.

Interesting facts: * swimmers wear noseclips * swimmers cannot touch the pool bottom at all during routines (even when they are throwing girls into the air) * for competition swimmers put knox gelatin in their hair * underwater speakers are used

If the water is cloudy you could have a couple of problems.

1. Could be out of balance; many factors lead to this, check it and fix it. You can take a water sample to a local pool & spa place for professional advice.

2. Green means algae; scrub and shock.

3. Filtration system could be messed up or just full. Particles may be recirculating.

Easy answer is to shock it and vacuum. How does it look the next day? Go from there. If it is dirt you can see on the bottom (ie. alot) vacuum to waste instead of to the filter. This will remove the particles but not clog the system.

Girl's one-piece swimsuit are suppost to be tight enough to stick on their body when they come out of the water or when its wet.

Yes and no, in some places in the state you can have them, others you cannot. Then in some places you need a permit, and who will use it must be written on it. Then in some places, they aren't illegal, but they wont be put up because of how "dangerous" they are.

because its good for your lower abs ,middle abs,and upper abs.the abs get stronger .and that's a good thing !

I would challenge yourself to try and run one more lap than you did last time. Be careful though, don't push yourself too hard.

Swimming is a great sport as it is the sport you sweat most in, and has the least stress on your joints. If you start swimming in a club (theres lots around-they're really good fun!), after 6 weeks, the fitness will start to show and you'll become really toned and slim!
helps you get fit, you can make friends and gives you something to aim for like winning competitions getting pb's (personal bests). gives you the ability to do what say cheerleaders cant do. swimming is hard but rewarding.

If you are not in receipt of any benefits or an OAP, a swim at Hartsdown or Ramsgate pool is just over £5!!

You will be lucky to get a good swim as these pools give preference to schools, swimming clubs and swimming lessons! The most you can expect for your money is 1 lane which obviously has too many people in it to get a good swim!

Way too expensive for what you get, there is no competition for Thanet Leisure as no other place has a big pool, in my opinion this is why they think they can charge stupid money for a swim!

More big pools are needed in Thanet!

The fastest swimmer in the Philippines is Jesse King Lacuna. He was recorded swimming the 200 meter freestyle in 50.9 seconds, beating the time of Miguel Molina, which was 1 minute 51.75 seconds.

your time that you swim should be 4 times slower than your time that you run. 17 minutes says Andrew I differentiates, depending on big your lung capacity is...but there are some people that can hold for up/over 2 minutes! Now I can only hold my for about 30-40 seconds!

One reason is that tall swimmers swim a shorte distane on eah lap in a pool. A six inch difference in totalbreah with arms extended means a two foot advantage in a four lap race. Tall swimmers swim a shorter distance!

The 1500m swim is considered the mile race, so pretty close.

Swim caps can be purchase in any retail store where they sell swim wear such as Sears, Walmart or Target. The best swim caps are those that are bought in sporting stores such as National Sports and Pro Bass Shop. You may also order them from online.

If they had to I think they would. Front crawl is the fastest type of stroke so they would try to use it for most of the event and not others like the breastroke, backstroke, butterfly, etc.

50 meters but people use usually 25 yards to swim laps.

It is a relay (that consists of 4 swimmers who each swim the same distance) that is made up of only freestyle.

Example: 200 Free Relay (each swimmer swims a 50 free)

400 Free Relay (100 free each)

800 Free Relay (200 free each)
