Swimming

Lap swimmers (former college, triathlete, and dedicated amateurs) tend to prefer a temperature between 76 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit. This range has proved to be most healthy for general lap swimming.

Warmer pool temperatures lead to higher energy costs and higher pool chemical costs, since bacteria grow more and faster at higher water temperatures.

While some argue that water temperature is a matter of personal preference, hot-water swimming can dangerously dehydrate and overheat even the most fit swimmers. In October 2010, a 26-year-old professional swimmer died from severe fatigue in a race held in 87-degree water.

Many community and YMCA pools raise temperatures to mollify vocal water aerobics groups, rather than requiring their trainers to provide active, healthy workouts. Also, many pools keep their temperatures higher because they do arthritis classes in the water - and usually, warmer temperatures can be initially more comfortable for arthritis sufferers. 85 degrees is the temperature the pool is at in the winter here in Hawaii for the arthritis classes principally. Generally there are not significant complaints from the lap swimmers (many of whom may choose instead to swim in the ocean water).

The recommended temperature for a single use facility that caters to lap swimmers, children and elderly is 79-82 degrees.

you can get dq ed many ways wether it's you didn't touch the wall with 2 hNd in fly or fall started there is actually a rule book type thing that's pretty thick

How long it takes to swim 1500 meters depends entirely on how fast a swimmer you are. For me it takes 20-25 minutes.

You can go swimming any time but you can't go awimming if you had diarohea in the past 2 weeks

There are several fabrics used in leotards. If you have a nylon leotard, than the fabric is the same as in a swimsuit. As long as the leotard style is a tank (sleeveless), than it is basically the same. The only difference would be that the leotards tend to have more coverage on the back, as swimsuits are usually more open.

At my school, the record is 01:03.4-- that's pretty good. I'd throw on maybe an extra 10 seconds and call it a good time. Maybe 1:10? 1:12 maybe? Nothing over 1:15 is particularly great, though I'm sure mine falls was something like 1:18 the last time I swam it. Heh..

Yes. you have more to kick with. But if someone less training and big feet races a person with more training and smaller feet, the person with more training will most likely win. It's just a bit of a head start

The world record is 18 seconds, if I am not mistaken. Mine is 29.86, which is pretty good, but could be better. On my team, I believe the record is 24 seconds for the boys, 25 for the girls. A good time is under 30 seconds, I suppose.

Aquaphobia. Hydrophobia is a morbid fear of water.

To swim, you need to be able to float on your back and stomach, put your face in the water without fear, and to blow out through your nose in the water. After you have mastered these first goals, swimming is easy.
