How old do you have to be to able to compete in swimming?

You can compete at swimming at a young age, I am 14 and have been swimming for 11 years and competing for 7/8 years. Lots of swimming clubs hold competitions for certain age groups. For instance an 8 year old would not be competing against a 12 year old. If you are talking about olympic swimming I'm not sure but the youngest age seems to be age 15, my friend is going to the paralympics in a few weeks and he is only 15 :) hope this helped

Where to buy a swim cap for dreadlocks?

Finally !! There is a great unisex extra large swim cap especially designed for dreadlocks and long hair styles on eBay !! The material used is comfortable and keeps the head cool during use. It can be used with really long locs!! The item # is 300702640994 . Just put that number into the search area (where you usually type a search word) and it will take you right to the page. Yeah!! No more plastic wrap !! Oh, the seller has other items for locs.

use plastic wrap

Plastic wrap didn't work for me. The swim cap, below, that I bought worked much better. I have them in three different colors. I don't think anything keeps all of the water out, but this works really well:

How do the judges normally record the results of swimmers in a swimming competition?

there are no judges, there are timers and head timers and officials that can disqualify you.

the starter blows a horn that tells you to start your race, and it automatically starts the timer. when you finish the race, there will be a touch pad that records the exact time you touch the wall and finish your race. the time is automatically recordes and sent by computer to the officials.

but if the pool does not have touch pads (they are very expensive, so not every pool has them) then there will be timers with a srtopwatch. they start the stopwatch when the horn is blown, and stop it when they see you touch the wall. they will the write your time down and send it to the officials.

if you are disqualified your time is still recorded and sent to the officials, they then erase it and replace it with a DQ.

What are two types of propulsion in swimming?

Umm...the question is a little vague (is it for a project, are there more details?), so I'll offer as much as I find relevant.

You can split it into arm propulsion or leg propulsion.

You can split it into the four strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle.

You can split it into surface propulsion and underwater propulsion.

Be more specific and I can help you more.
