Swimming

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)

The water becomes aggressive and attacks anything with which it comes in contact. Not a good environment for the pool finish or the equipment.

It depends where you live! Where I am, in is about 30 dollars per month but there are many more programs here than in other parts of the the US.

The Australian crawl was the original name for the swimming stroke now known as Freestyle. the stroke was developed in Australia.

New above-ground pools may impart a strange taste to the water, which dissipates with use. New in-ground pools should be allowed to cycle through the cleaning process thoroughly after first being filled, to absorb any installation contaminants.

This depends on the type of pool (concrete, vinyl liner, fiberglass), what part of the country and what part of the world, and whether it is commercial or residential.

If, by "regular" you mean a standard residential rectangular pool, then in my part of the US the standard sizes run about 16'X32', 18'X36' and 20'X40'.
