Maritza states:
Our pool was reconstructed recently and it seems that instead of shallow of 3feet we have a shallow of 2.75ft but on measuring it it was found to be below 2.5ft which is why our hand touches the floor on swimming freestyle in shallow. Just wondering that the international standard for shallow is.
Also, any tips for improving buoyancy while swimming in such a situation?

I don’t mean what discoveries they have made on the physiological aspect of swimming, but how have scientific discoveries changed the sport? If any at all? Any help would be appreciated!

I swim competively. I swim in the longer kind of Speedo suit (Jammers) but I would like to know how to prevent it from deteriorating. Every night after swimming practice I always soak it in cold fresh water. But is there any other soulution or advice that you may have? Thanks in advance.

For a man in his 40’s who never got a chance to learn swimming. Now don’t wish to die without learning to swim.

I’m a 22 year old woman and I want to lose about 10 kilos. If I swim daily and eat well, will I be able to lose weight? Is swimming considered cardio? I also want to tone up but I don’t want to bulk up and get all muscley. I am planning on swimming daily as well as a few aerobics sessions a week, will these exercises make me lose weight? P.s I will be eating a healthy low-calorie diet also.

I only picked up swimming last year by starting to learn swim underwater. I don’t know how to swim in freestyle & breaststroke neither until know. I learned swim underwater by observing others & practice on my own. Just wonder can I consider myself know swimming by just know swim underwater?
