Swimming

The most common swimming strokes are the freestyle, backstroke, butterfly stroke and of course the freestyle. There are also the sidestroke and the elementary backstroke as well.

If you're on a swim team or in swimming lessons, you would need goggles, a swimsuit, and maybe a swim cap.

Exposure to the elements seems the most common reason I've found in my research of what causes personal flotation devices to wear out.

Stop drinking it. Ok, it had to be said but if you have already tried to treat it with the proper chemicals you probably need to drain it, clean it and refil it.

Before you throw out any water have it tested by your pool shop they wil probably be able to sort ot out for you.

You have to have a certified Red Cross instructors certificate/license and be 18+. Call your local Red Cross for further info and the YMCA may also have classes.

This is incorrect as I swim for a club and 2 swimmers, 16 year olds are already teaching!

very slow

Yes! Of course! Now it may be a bit uncomfortable for others if you wear a pad or nothing at all (but your bathing suit) because it is possible for blood to leak through the thing material. A tampon is ideal for swimming but it is possible to use a pad.

Back in 1987 B.C. a little-known Neanderthal named Moog Weissmuller accidentally fell from a high cliff into a deep body of water. Upon discovering that he could not breath while under the water, he quickly realized that by flailing his arms and legs in an organized manner, he could basically stay alive. Thus the invention (perfected over time) was to become known as "swimming." As a side note, unknown to Moog, Ugh Spitz observed Moog's fall and thought it must have hurt when he hit the water on his back. After some practice and multiple painful attemtps, Ugh was able to enter the water from high cliffs barely causing a splash! He and Moog decided to call Ugh's perfected method "diving." Fortunately, Moog was able to position himself in the water to save Ugh during his many attemtps, as Ugh had not yet developed Moog's staying-alive-in-the-water techniques.

The correct term is lengths but In a 25 yard pool it would be 240 lengths

It is extremely dangerous. If you hit your head on the bottom of the pool/sea bed, you can become a quadriplegic/paraplegic or possibly even die.

Statistically speaking, male swimmers at their prime are considerably faster than their female counterparts at their prime. Men are faster because, genetically, men develop more muscle than women do. This doesn't mean men are always faster than women. I knew quite a few female swimmers in high school who would leave me behind in their wake.

No, it will only work if the top of it is sticking out of the water so unless its a really long snorkle,,, no

That would be Anthony Irvin in 2000 (Sydney). That would be Anthony Irvin in 2000 (Sydney). That would be Anthony Irvin in 2000 (Sydney).

An Olympic-sized pool is 50 meters long, so divide that in half and you have 25 meters, a distance that is frequently used by countries other than the US Answer 25 meters. It's used all over the world. There are only 2 sizes for swimmin pool competitions: 25 and 50 meters. 50 meters is the so called olympic sized pool.

Hiya, im 14 and am a swimmer:) im guessing by response you mean like your reaction to diving and stuff? If you are, this is my answer..

I use different types of stratagies and activities to help improve my reaction to make it as quick as possible. This is the main activity i like to use..

Put a bottle down on the ground, or anything quite tall and easy to grip.. either do this with a partner or on your own, if on your own stand about a meter away from th bottle. If with a parter both stand a meter away facing each other. Bend your knees and keep your hands behind your back, get somebody to blow a whistle or say go and try and grab the bottle as fast as you can.

the only other advice i can give is to just keep practising..

I hope this helps x!

To swim is to move through water. People swim using their arms and/or legs. Swimming can be divided into several "strokes:" breaststroke, front crawl, butterfly, and backstroke being among them. The freestyle, in competition, is a swim race where you can swim any of the four strokes. Almost everyone chooses front crawl. Swimmers move through the water using the combination of other body parts. Swimmers need to be able to stay above water and sometimes be able to hold your breath for a long time. A person needs to be healthy if it wants to do it as a sport.

Well, actually if you attain the circumference of the collection of liquid by taking the diameter of 24 feet and multiplying it by pi which is approximately 3.14159265 you would come to an answer of 75.3982236 feet. And by taking the number of feet that exists in a mile which is 5,280 and divide that by the circumference you would get 70.02817504. Therefore we would have to proceed around the pool generally just under 71 times its simple math really, but this also does not include that we are traveling the vortex internally and not on the full exterior of the figure. so genuinely the fact is we'd have to go a slightly prolonged distance to achieve an exact mile.

=D

It means individual medley but no idea what it means !

All I know is a home remedy. You should mix vinegar and alcohol and then pour into to ear and tilt your head.

Yes. You can even swim if your arm is currently broken if you get a certain water-proof cast.

Yes, if you are swimming in a pool that has chlorine in it. Some other chemicals added to swimming pools to clean the water react with your hair. It can turn blond hair green and it can change the color if you have dyed or rinsed your hair color.

Men's swimming attire includes swimming trunks that are in the style of boxer shorts, jammers, swim briefs, and for the daring, speedo's. Men's swim competition wear is made of ultra-thin micro-nylon fiber that dries twice as fast as conventional nylon.

It would depend on the pool length, In Internationally sanctioned events the pool length is 50 meters. The USA is the only country that holds or has pools that are measured in yards, either 25 or 50. In a 25 yard pool.. 12 laps. In a 50 yard pool, 6 laps.
