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

Great exercise and therapy:\n\n Swimming can be very demanding for the beginner. Exercise at a comfortable pace and periodically check your heart rate to make sure you're staying in your training range. It is recommended that beginners swim 12-20 minutes, building endurance with time. As you progress, you'll be able to swim farther and faster at each workout, and the efficiency of your strokes will improve. Intermediate swimmers should swim 20-30 minutes and advanced swimmers 30-60 minutes. The freestyle, or crawl, is the most efficient and strenuous stroke. A 150 pound person burns about 8.5 calories, a minute, swimming freestyle. \n\n If you get tired, switch to a less strenuous stroke, such as the sidestroke or breaststroke, or swim a few laps with a kickboard. Swimming in sets - 4 laps freestyle, 4 laps breaststroke, 4 laps backstroke, for example - will make your workout more interesting and will exercise more muscles\n\nSimple Water Exercises:\n\n Kick with a kickboard or holding on to the side of the pool to tone legs, back and stomach. \n\n Leg lifts also condition legs, back and stomach. \n\n Holding on to the side of the pool, lift each leg 10 times in front of you, behind you and to each side. \n\n Running in the water increases your heart rate just as swimming does. Many people who can't run on land can run in the water without a problem. Because of the water's resistance, the impact on your body is far less. In chest-high water, begin by running with your hands on your head, and as you become more fit, paddle with your arms. You can alternate running with skipping, hopping, or even dancing in the water.\n\n Bobbing up and down in the water improves breathing and muscle tone. \n\n Treading in the water improves arm and leg strength. Whatever your level of ability, remember to cool down afterwards with water or stretching exercises

Don't worry, if it's your first swimming practice ever then they're gonna teach you all that stuff there. You don't have to worry about being overwhelmed or anything. \nThe flipping under water to change directions you do it later on not at the beginning, at first it's ok to just push off the wall again.

Yes it is,its one of the best and one of the most prolific sports there is, swimmers are amongst the most elite finess regimes there is and are far superior than footballers. nearly all countries compete at swimming, Soccer is no 1. Basketball is No 2. Swimming is No 3.Why do you think Swimming is the highlight of any international sporting Games events ie: Olympic Games/Panam games etc, your right your class 8 grade guys are not very smart in fact their dumbasses and would probally drown if they go in the water.

I have been on the swim team for a long time and im 3rd in the state at breast stroke, but i still know about freestyle. i usually dont think about how many strokes i take before a breathe. i think if u just do whatever feels comfortable you will have 1 less thing to think about so you go faster. When i first hit the water I'll usually take 4 or 5 strokes before i take a breathe cuz im so pumped up.

Well, with the criminal tresspassing charges aside, I would think that the normal risks with swimming would apply; the risk of drowning or injuring youself while diving into an unfamiliar body of water.  The risk of paralysis or coma from a diving injury, not REALLY knowing what's in the pool, to name a few.  I've never done it because my parents taught me to respect other people's property.

Swim, swim, swim. Practice your rescue strokes (side stroke, elementary back, heads-up free & heads-up breast stroke) as well as your regular swim strokes. Practice treading water without using your hands and practice submerging underwater. Running on the sand is great. If you weight train, cut it out until you're done with your certification. Good luck.

I am comfortable swimming in water that is warm.  It has to be at least 90 degrees out and the water has to be very cool not to warm not to cold.  Just enough to cool me off

They have to be fenced in. It's state law. Plus it just makes good sense. If you don't have a fence around the pool, little kids can wander in and drown. I don't know what the height restrictions are, but I'm sure a good fencing company can tell you.
