There are two different types of sizes when it comes to shoes. There are children's which come in sizes 2-13, and there are adults which come in sizes 1-14. If you look at it like this then a child's 9-13 would be smaller than a child's 1-4.

i did a whole project thing on this and researched some prices so i'll try to help out. off common knowledge, i think the swimming clubs there are ok with bathsuits because at least in Oman which is where i lived there was an expat place to swim and where normal clothes. be respectful still though like no tank tops or high shorts. i found a price of $4135/ month for a 3 bedroom apartment if it helps. this is dollars too and i'm not sure of the exchange rate. and back the clubs thing, i would suggest you take advantage of the scuba diving. well anyway, i hope i have helped

Can a fish swim over a mountian? Maybe, but it ain't going to be easy. First off, get the visa. Second off, put some applications in on line, you don't have to go anywhere that way. Third thing is to save up enough money so you don't end up in a desparate situation. Good Luck.

Because the ocean is fricking huge.  The electricity dissipates.  So if you happen to be swimming nearby, you'll probably get fried a bit, but if you're miles away, you won't even notice.

What everybody is saying is right, well about licking them.\nI have been swimming for about 7 years now, and there is only one true way to prevent them from fogging up. When you get in the water, put the inseide lenses inside the water. That will get water on them.\nNow, you want to lick or spit inside your goggles.\nThat will prevent them from fogging up, at least for a while. \nWhen they fog up again, which they will if you take them off, lick them again. It truely does work.

My brine's awash with possible theories. I haddock a few answers, but they all turned out to be damp squids. It's the sea air, it fogs the senses. Time to stop carping on . Ah whelk, i'll say tartar. Nothing newt there then.

yeah just where a life jacket and it will still be well worth it.  plus you can see tons of stuff with out getting in deep water.  I am a good swimmer but I couldn't go under water with my snorkel with out swallowing water anyways.  But maybe I'm just dumb!  Anyways I put on a life jacket and loved it all the same.  As long as you aren't scared of being in the water you'll enjoy it.

Good question, I have no idea but based on other knowledge they will probably be under the front flippers (arm pit) same as for seals.

At sea level, the pressure the air exerts downward is at 1 atmosphere (normally).  If you decend 32 feet below water, the water pressure acting on you is 1 atmosphere as well, even greater as you go deeper.\n\nWhen you try to suck air down underwater, the water is trying to push it back up.  At some point, you just wont have enough "sucking power" to over come the weight of the water.

It's a form of underwater swimming

I am a diver, as in like off spring boards. If you are talking   about the ones that do flips, then thats me. My yahoo messanger name is skigirl264. If you're talking about scuba diving, then thats ok too.

I agree with you and I think it is necessary.. I dont think this swimming and diving category is meant for scuba diving.. I think they mean diving as in platform or springboard diving\n\nIf you need votes to get this passed, let me know

Yes. They did cover themselves with lard or grease as a way to keep warm in the cold waters. Think 'whale blubber'. Now day though, they have:\nWet Suits: these "are basically used when diving in water temperatures between 50 and 77F. These are mostly made from thin neoprene. This neoprene provides limited thermal protection, and lined with a nylon fabric to make it easy to put on and take off."\nDry Suits: "When the water temperature is between 0 and 59F dry suits are used. This suit does not allow the water touch the divers' body. So, the diver remains dry. When the temperature is less and if the water touches the diver's body then it will be pain for the diver. This suit seals at the wrists and neck prevent water entering the suit."\nAnd semi-dry suits: "When the water temperature is between 50 to 68F the semi-dry suits are used. Seals at the wrists and neck limit the volume of water entering and leaving the suit."

It's a sealed room with high barometric pressure.  Sometimes if divers come up too soon, they get a condition called "the bends" in which nitrogen dissolved in the bloodstream starts to come out as bubbles of gas.  (Think of how bubbles come out of soda when you lower the pressure by opening the top.)  So the divers can be put in a hyperbaric chamber, where more of the gas will stay dissolved and the pressure can be lowered gradually.

I used to be a competitive swimmer, and during some training sessions we had to wear multiple layers. They essentially create "drag" which increases resistance. Weight is offset by buoyancy, so to increase the resistance in water, you add clothes. Sweatpants/shirts absorb a lot of water, thus add a fair amount of resistance to a work out. While I'll admit, I haven't seen the aquacise classes apply this technique, it does come from sound water based training principles.
