How does momentum apply underwater?

Momentum is a property of matter which causes matter to maintain velocity (speed and direction) unless acted on by unbalanced forced. This applies anywhere, from in space, in the air, on the ground, under ground, or under water.

Once a swimmer is moving he/she has momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity. When moving through a fluid, whether it be air or water, a body encounters resistance. This resistance causes momentum to be lost to the fluid around the body, and the body slows down. Normally a constant force such as a waving a fin, or spinning a propellor is needed to counter the loss of momentum. Aero/hydrodynamic shapes will lower resistance allowing the body to retain momentum for much longer, and reduce demand for a compensating source of power.

Why is it dangerous to swim during a storm?

If lightning strikes and u r in water, then u could possibly get electrocuted.

The main reason is that during a storm there is often rain and heavy winds, the rain would generally be colder and could lower your core body temperature if you stayed out in it too long, it would also render it harder to see if it was heavy. The main concern though is the wind as you would have to fight against waves which could include whitecaps and the current of the water. It would tire you out very fast and there is a strong risk that you could drown.

Is 20 laps in a 25 yard pool good training for a beginning swimmer?

Yes that's quite good. Most intermediate swimmers could manage a mile (70 laps) and so as a beginner 20 laps is a good start. I would recommend trying to increase by 4-6 laps each time you go to allow you to slowly build up your swimming.

Strokes are most prevalent in the southern United States, particularly in the "Stroke Belt," which includes states like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Additionally, socioeconomic factors, access to healthcare, and lifestyle choices play significant roles in these disparities.

Who safeguards swimmers at swimming pool?

If you have a pool, it is important to register. For compliance purposes, the current safety standard for the pool will depend on the validity of the certificate and the building certificate.

A pool security certificate is issued in Brisbane, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, and Queensland by a pool safety inspector and by a construction inspector only. You will need a security inspection certificate issued by an inspector licensed by Queensland Government (QLD) if you rent, sell, or share a pool.

When the safety standards are met, a certification for pool safety is then provided. For the certification, the Pool Safety Inspector is expected to ensure that the certificate is entered in the Pool Safety Register. The inspector will provide the pool certificate if:

• Lack of pool or barriers development approval

• In compliance with the development approval of the pool or its obstacles

• Failure by the owner of the pool to pay an inspection fee or contractual dispute

In the event of non-compliance, which means that the swimming pool safety inspector is not satisfied with the safety standard compliance status of the pool, a separate form 26 is used by the pool owner within two business days of the inspection. The Pool Safety NOC indicates areas where the Pool does not comply and what to do to ensure compliance. If the owner felt aggrieved, he could proceed and appeal the decision of the pool inspector in spite of the resolution committee. The owner can lodge the appeal within 20 working days of the date of issue of Form 26.

A property owner receives a certificate of classification for a building that has a pool or land on which a regulated swimming pool exists. This serves as a safety certificate, which is one year for public pools and two years for private pools.

The validity of the classification certificate and of the construction certificate depends on whether the certificate is issued under the current standard for pool safety.

How long does a certificate for pool safety last? It's two years for a residential pool safety certificate, but you're not required to get a different certificate. All you need to do is to ensure that the fencing of your pool remains compliant. If you are going to sell or lease your property in the future, you really only need to get a new pool safety certificate.

Generally, it is not the weight so much as the amount of fat to lean muscle and bone. The more fat a person has the more buoyant they are. You could a have 300-pound weightlifter who is solid muscle (very dense) and a 300-pound elderly man who has little lean muscle and lots of fat. The elderly man would be more buoyant even though their weight is the same.
