Swimming

Algae is not cause by soapy swimsuits, or what you wash them in. It's caused by low levels of chlorine or non at all. If the chlorine is too low and the sun is shining that is a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. To prevent algae watch the levels of chlorine and shock regularly. Don't forget to put in algaecide as well, that helps prevent it too. Wash your swimsuits in whatever you like, but make sure that after they are freshly washed that you rinse them well before going in the pool. Bathing suits will most likely cause foam or sudsy looking water, not algae.

Um the champion swimmer would be Micheal Phelps from the united states.

from Canada this year ( 2008 ) in the Olympics it was Ryan Cochrane. He was the only swimmer to get Canada a medal in swimming.

but right now the worlds best swimmer is Micheal Phelps from the u.s. he got 8 gold medals and 7 world records at the Beijing 2008 Olympics! it was amazing!

Here are just a couple of reasons:

1. Many people don't wash before they go in the pool.

2. People urinate whilst still in the pool.

You can accidentally swallow some of the water.

Swimming has been part of the Modern Olympics since they began in 1896. There were four events in 1896, the 100 meter freestyle, 500 meter freestyle, 1200 meter freestyle, and Sailors 100 meter freestyle (this event was open only to sailors in the Greek Royal Navy).

No. You do not get a common cold by being cold or in the cold or cold water, that is an old belief from before viruses were known to be the cause of a cold. See the related questions below for more information about this myth.

Only Jesus could walk on water- the rest of us have to swim.

once a famous swimmer, always a famous swimmer

In an olympic size pool, that is 15 lengths

The three parts of the Ironman Triathlon are a 2.4 mile (3.86 Km) ocean swim followed by a 112 mile (180.2 Km) bike ride followed by a marathon run (26 miles, 385 yards or 42.195 Km). Current course record holders are Luc Van Lierde of Belgium for men in a time of 8:04:08 and Paula Newby-Fraser of Zimbabwe for women in a time of 8:55:28.

It depends how many gallons your pool is. Once you buy your chlorinating system, the install manual will tell you how much salt to add based on how many gallons in the pool. I have an Autopilot Digital and it tells me when it needs salt. I still check it with test strips to be safe.

As of the 2008 Games in Beijing, that would be Jenny Thompson of the United States with 12: Gold - 8 1992 - 4x100 meter freestyle relay, 4x100 meter medley relay

1996 - 4x100 meter freestyle relay, 4x100 meter medley relay, 4x200 meter freestyle relay

2000 - 4x100 meter freestyle relay, 4x100 meter medley relay, 4x200 meter freestyle relay Silver - 3 1992 - 100 meter freestyle

2004 - 4x100 meter freestyle relay, 4x100 meter medley relay Bronze - 1 2000 - 100 meter freestyle

1 gallon (US/liquid)= 3.7854 L . Olympic pool is ~660 gallons. 660x3.7854=2,498.364. There are is about 2,500 liters of water in an olympic pool.

Yes, it is perfectly fine to wear speedo. In the United States, most men will wear swim trunks or board shorts but speedos are also seen. If you like speedos there is nothing stopping you but yourself.

(Word of advice, never wear a white speedo. See through!)

To increase floatation.

Here's a formula for round pools:

distance across*distance across*depth*5.9

for rectangles:

length*width*depth*7.5

or for a deep end:

length*width*((shallow end depth + deep end depth)/2)*7.5

so in your case, 16*32*(3+7)/2*7.5=20000 gallons

Michael Phelps is most definatley a profesional swimmer!

Pro level is Olympics and Fina worlds etc.

Michael Phelps is the best swimmer in history.

Amazing preformances at the olympics.

The Olympic record for the 100 meter freestyle is 47.84 posted by Pieter van den Hoogenband, of the Netherlands at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

It depends on where you are swimming. For an answer on the standard width as defined by US Swimming I suggest you visit their website. If you are just looking for the distance at your pool, an easy way to find out is to simply measure the width of the pool and divide by the number of lanes you have. Another way would be to actually measure the distance between the eye hooks with a tape measure.
