Swimming

Pressure sensors are used to determine times. In addition, video cameras recording at 2,000 frames per second are used to accurately determine winners in the event of a very close "photo finish"

assuming a 25mx10m pool, each lap = 70m 1 mile = approximately 1609 metres 50 mils = 80,450 metres 80,000 / 70 = 1149 laps

It doesn't really. It's just marketed best. The trick to the Speedo LZR is that it is a compression suit covered with a fabric that has an extremely low drag. And it does work. The re-writing of so many records in such a short time isn't a concidence. The suit compresses the body across critical areas. This compression serves to damp muscle oscillation. And the surface of the suit is covered with low friction material. There is a lot of "hi tech" development behind the LZR Racer (laser racer). It's fluid dynamics meets physiology. There is a clear, though not overwhelming advantage to the suit. It creates a performance increase of only a few percent, but it's enough to make a difference. Interestingly, it doesn't help the best swimmers as much as it helps those of lesser rank. But it is impacting events, and will continue to do so - until the next innovation.

1933 by Henry Myers.

WRONG. In 1933 David Armbruster (University of Iowa coach) invented the stroke and it was first swum by Jack Siege, his swimmer. Henry Myers was the first to compete in the butterfly.

Obviously there's no right answer, however I swim 1km in 24 minutes and I'd say I'm pretty average for someone who swims regularly. I can do 250m in 5 mins - but that's hard.

I was somewhat disconcerted last week by an old bloke at my pool overtaking me doing breast stroke.... It's all about technique apparently.

no

It all depends on what you need to stretch for. Some good things to stretch before any sport is your legs, arms, shoulders and ankles. If you stretch these before you exercise then you are less likely to pull a muscle or injure yourself.

You can do this using two ways:

1. convert 1.5km to m i.e = 1500m. Hence # laps = 1500/25 = 60 laps

or

2. convert 25 m into km i.e = 0.025. Hence # laps = 1.5/0.025 = 60 laps

Thirty five laps is equal to a mile in a fifteen yard swimming pool. The time to complete these laps may vary.

To avoid passing your germs to another refrain from using the pool while your are contaminated. Common sense!

Yes. This is one of the key things to becoming a good swimmer.

I had to figure out this very question for a client to get credit on his DWP bill, and no one could answer it, so I took to the internet and found this site:

It's FABULOUS and gives you exactly what you're looking for.

he grew up to have good intrest in swimming then a swimming coach saw him swim so fast at only 5 years old then was when he became famous.

Strength training is necessary to maintain a healthy, fit body. Both men and women should engage in strength training as part of their regular training. However, there are few differences in how women should approach strength training than men. Below are some differences and why these differences do not affect a woman’s training regimen.

The most recognizable difference is body structure. Women have smaller frames and therefore, by nature, have less strength than men. Nevertheless, women can participate in the same training regimens as men. Another difference in body structure is bone density.

Women’s bone structure is less dense than men’s. One reason is the lesser amounts of testosterone in women. Women should supplement their training diets to increase bone density. Stronger bones translate into increased weight training. Weight training helps the body increase bone density. Hormones also regulate bone structure.

Hormones play a significant role. Men produce up to ten times the amount of testosterone than women. For this reason, women can lose muscle mass quicker than men when not training. Women therefore need to train more consistently than men to maintain muscle mass. However, both genders need to begin training with slower paces.

Both men and women need to gradually increase the intensity and weight used during training. However, women can train with the same intensity as men. Although the weight is not as great, proportionally speaking, women can train with the same intensity as men.

Men and women generally have the same lower body strength when comparing lean muscle mass to strength. However, men have more upper body strength than women. Therefore, women need to focus more on upper body training to maintain proportional strength to their male counterparts.

When it comes to aging, women in their 40’s tend to slow down, losing endurance and strength. Men on the other hand can maintain nearly the same level of intensity well into their 50’s and in some men into their 60’s. Age is the only disadvantage women have concerning training regimens.

This doesn’t mean that women should stop training when they reach a certain age. Even though a woman’s training regimen may lessen, it is still important to maintain regular exercise. Women exercising at an older age have less degeneration of bone density and better joint stabilization.

As one can see, there is very little difference between men and women when it comes to exercising. The routines, intensity and equipment are the same. The only real difference is the focusing of the upper body to maintain strength to weight ratios.

I did and it did not hurt me just ask your doctor

Conduction.... Why you ask because Conduction is the transfer of energy from one object to another object through direct contact.

When you are not in a streamline position in swimming, drag can occur. This is when you body is stopping the water from freely moving past your body. You may notice when you begin to sink while you are swimming that you slow down. This is because the lower part of your body is creating drag by stopping the water from quickly passing you legs.

So you do not drown. And whenever you swim remember God is there and will help you if you trust in him.

The Fairy Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is known to dive as deep as 60 feet and remain submerged for as long as 60 seconds. So they can swim at a rate of two feet per second. That's 60 feet down, and 60 feet returning to the surface, in one minute.

Body heat will be unable to warm the water around it, as fresh water will rush in to replace it. Were one wearing a waterproof suit, the body could heat the thin layer of water trapped inside the suit, but without such equipment the water will quickly bring on hypothermia.

Diving is how you start a race in swimming. (Except for backstroke) Swimmers stand on blocks and dive in the water when the race start. This is quite simple and takes a month to learn but years to master (Been diving 3 1/2 years now but still haven't mastered it)
