What are the pros and cons of learning to swim?
pros- you'll be learning something new, you get exercise, get stronger lungs, will have a longer amount of time in the water before you drown, you can save people from drowning, or teach others how to swim. Because if you know how to swim it is quite relaxing and being able to move in the water is actually kind of fun.
cons- you will learn you cannot breathe under water, this may cause coughing. opening your eyes under water might infect your eyes ( small or large) depending on your eye condition. chlorine might be irritable to the skin if there is too much of it in the water.. also it may put a dye in your clothes if it is too strong.
Do all sunscreens offer the same protection?
No, not all sunscreens offer the same level of protection. Different sunscreens have varying SPF (Sun Protection Factor) levels and protection against different types of UV rays (UVA and UVB). It's important to choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and broad-spectrum protection for optimal sun protection.

Levis 501 Red Tab - Shrink to Fit, Levis 511 Red Tab - Slimfit, Levis 512 Red Tab - Slimfit and Levis 505 Red Tab (similar to 501, except with a zipper) the the best for swimming and diving.

Are swimming pools at school good?
No. If you have a problem with swimming or can't do it then it should not be forced or have to do it in school. If you don't know how to swim and the teacher is not paying attention then you or someone (who doesn't know how to swim) can drown. Therefore the school can get in big legal trouble and stuff like that.
Carp swim an average of between 20 to 30 feet deep but have been known to swim as deep as 50 feet. They basically will go as deep as needed to get to their food.
How do you compete in swimming?
The best way to improve your swimming is to keep on trying and have confidence in yourself and that way you are sure to achieve something.

What is the highest score on pacman?
After nearly 20 years and millions of quarters, someone has attained the unthinkable: a perfect score on Pac-Man. The world record was set by 33-year-old Billy Mitchell of Hollywood, Florida, during a US-Canada clash over the Fourth of July weekend. Mitchell took more than six hours to complete the game at the Funspot Family Fun Center in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire.
To achieve the game's maximum score of 3,333,360 points, Mitchell navigated 256 boards (or screens), eating every single dot, blinking energizer blob, flashing blue ghost, and point-loaded fruit, without losing a single life. In May, one of the Canadians, Rick Fothergill, came within 90 points of the perfect score while playing at the Funspot arcade, described as the world's second-largest arcade, with about 500 games. The foursome set a Fourth of July weekend rendezvous for their head-to-head competition.
Mitchell said he came very close to setting the record on the first day of the holiday weekend -- 1 July which, coincidentally, is Canada Day -- but a kid pulled the plug about four hours into the game.
What size pool has 250 gallons?
* 62,500 gallons (US) = 8,355 cubic feet
If the pool is 20 feet wide, and 70 feet long, it could be 5 feet 11 and a half inches deep all around.
* 62,500 gallons (Imperial) = 10,034 cubic feet.
If the pool is still just under 6 feet deep and 20 feet wide, it could be 84 feet long.
How fast should a 15 year old boy swim 1500 meters?
I apologize for the last answer. A fifteen year old boy doesn't necessarily need to swim 1500 meters in any amount of time. It really depends on who you are. If you normally swim, then you might be able to do this in a twenty minute time period.

Why is buoyancy important to swimming?
being buoyant allows you to stay on the surface of the water easily, but other than buoyancy, you need to have good technique, a muscular build and a confident mind to be a successful swimmer.
Buoyancy in this case refers to the difference in density of the swimmer vs that of the water. The more buoyant you are, the larger portion of your body will be above water when you attempt to float (with no other motion).
Obviously, the more buoyant you are, the simpler it is to keep your head above water and be able to breathe. That is, a more buoyant person will have to spend less energy to keep themselves from drowning.
Buoyancy can come from several areas:
(1) ironically, fat is much less dense than muscle, so a person with a higher body fat percentage (BMI) is much more buoyant than one with a low BMI. Which means that obese people float much better than fit people. However, as obese people are much less able to keep up a sustained level of exercise required to actively swim, a fit person is a much better swimmer.
(2) flotation aids - such as a life vest, inflatable "floaties" and similar objects, or even clothing properly used in a lifesaving manner (e.g. a pair of pants taken off, reversed with legs tied behind the neck then filled with air) can provide a large extra buoyancy measure, allowing the person to remain afloat with virtually no effort. However, actively swimming while wearing such aids is very difficult.
(3) External objects that the person can grasp. Anything from a piece of wood, to a life preserver can increase the person's buoyancy. Once again, this allows the person to stay afloat (so long as they have the strength to grasp the object), but seriously inhibits swimming.
In general, the more buoyant a person is (whether due to fat or a worn or grasped floatation aid), the harder it is to swim properly. "Good" swimmers are much like sharks - they tend to be naturally non-buoyant, but use very efficient movements to maintain forward motion, and thus, remain able to stay afloat.
A good example of the difference between the two: a typical competitive swimmer (not an olympic-class one, just your average high school swimmer) should have no problem treating water for several hours unaided. A typical obese person will generally become tired and begin to founder after several dozen minutes (no more than a half-hour, at best), even though the obese person must put in much less effort to stay afloat. In fact, most competitive swimmers have negative buoyancy, which means that they will sink (even when holding their breath) if they don't actively treat water, while greatly obese people need to do no more than slowly wave their arms just below the water's surface to keep in an upright position.
very good question.
but it varys depending on the league and whos swimming what
really they just work through the events
you might be swimming the 12 22 and 34 event for example. just be at the blocks on time and youll be fine
