RE: Swimming discussion - ƛnubis - Jan. 09, 2011

It's because when you hold your breath, you take a breath in first. If you do the same thing, but after your lungs have minimal oxygen, then hold your breath, your body will not float back up.

same here lol, i hate that
i found that diving with one leg on my nee instead of diving standing up is easier (yes its a correct way to dive)

RE: Swimming discussion - Senpatu - Jan. 11, 2011
My Friends and I go swimming only on weekends but the weather Is quite Discouraging so swimming is pretty difficult when the water is as cold as icy cold metal. But now and then I go swimming.
RE: Swimming discussion - lord Wolfblade - Jan. 11, 2011
lucky most of the pools near me are indoors
RE: Swimming discussion - Amaterasu - Jan. 12, 2011

RE: Swimming discussion - Sparta - Oct. 10, 2011
From what I've read it seems diving is included, too.
I need 11 dives to qualify for states this year. I have 10 so far, and they are as follows:
Forwards: Dive tuck, tuck flip, tuck summersault and a half
Twists: Front summersault half twist
Inwards: Dive tuck, flip tuck
Backwards: Dive tuck, flip tuck
Reverses: Dive tuck, flip tuck
Yeah, I do a lot of tuck dives.
For those wondering, these are off of a 1 meter board. I've gone off of a 3 meter once with a tuck dive, but that's it.
When we go to florida for our swimming trip this year (Or "hell week") I'm going to have to jump off of the 5 meter...Gulp...

I love to swim but I am so SLOW, but I can tread water for a long time.
RE: Swimming discussion - Mickey - Oct. 14, 2011
I can swim well, but when I start losing stamina, my body just sinks. Also, swim team tryouts are this Monday, does anyone know any tips they they can give me?
RE: Swimming discussion - Janstarblast - Oct. 24, 2011
I would love to swim, but I do not know how to. Thanks to all those Indian Superstitions, I was told that the cause of my death would be water. This sentence was enough to convince my parents not to allow me to swim...
Dumb.... If I would know to swim, I'd not die! So allowing me to swim is a better way to avoid the pointless 'predicted' cause of death. Hmph!
RE: Swimming discussion - lovesick - Nov. 09, 2013
My 50m freestyle personalbest time is 33.73 secs.

Very slow
RE: Swimming discussion - Cake - Jun. 04, 2014
IMO any activity in which you jump off an elevated platform headfirst is unpleasant at best. I can't dive dive, but I can hold my breath for quite a while and I can easily make it to 12 feet or so down and swim around for a few seconds. It's really fun being able to swim around deep below the diving well at the pool; it's much less crowded 10 feet below the surface XD
I really enjoy swimming, but I'm not particularly fast; I would never consider joining a swim team, for instance. But I really, really love just being in the water, and so I've spent a good deal of time at the high school pool, which is open pretty much all year to the public.
