You have to pass geometry and other hated subjects in order to stay on the swim team. Ask the school to find a tutor for you. Or check with one of your math minded friends or relatives, for help.

They vary depending on personal, public or olympic. Check it out at wikipedia.com\nThe olympic size is below.\n\nAn Olympic Swimming Pool is a pool that meets FINA's additional standards for the Olympic Games and for world championship events. It must be 50 m in length by 25 m wide, divided into eight lanes of 2.5 m each plus two areas of 2.5 m at each side of the pool. The water must be kept at 25–28°C and the lighting level at greater than 1500 lux. Depth must be at least 2 m, and there are also regulations for color of lane rope, positioning of backstroke flags, and so on. Pools claimed to be "Olympic pools" do not always meet these regulations, as FINA cannot police use of the term.

Swimming is a better total body workout. By varying your swim workout with drills, you can get an equally strenous lower body work out swimming as you can in a spinning class. Swimming is an excellent workout for your core muscles and smaller muscles that lifting alone would be difficult to work.

Yes, i know swimming. My best stroke is butterfly but i do not know what my favorite is. Swimming is my ultimate favorite sport but my second favorite is basketball.

what is incredible about swimming is that it is horizontal exercise,and like flying in mid-air! For some people it might be the only horizontal exercise they ever get.. Because you are in the water you are able to move more weight with less resistance,and exercise your cardio-vascular system ( if you progress into laps,especially) A great body workout!!

my friend goes running and swimming and hes losing his...but run long distances and swim laps instead of just playing around...front crawl (freestyle) and back crawl (backstroke) and definitely breast stroke are probably the best swimming methods

wikipedia.org\n\n"On Floating Bodies (2 volumes) \nIn the first part of this scroll, Archimedes spells out the law of equilibrium of fluids, and proves that water will adopt a spherical form around a center of gravity. This was probably an attempt at explaining the observation made by Greek astronomers that the Earth is round. Note that his fluids are not self-gravitating: he assumes the existence of a point towards which all things fall and derives the spherical shape. One is led to wonder what he would have done had he struck upon the idea of universal gravitation. \nIn the second part, a veritable tour-de-force, he calculates the equilibrium positions of sections of paraboloids. This was probably an idealization of the shapes of ships' hulls. Some of his sections float with the base under water and the summit above water, which is reminiscent of the way icebergs float, although Archimedes probably was not thinking of this application. "\n\n\nOK - I thought that this might be easy to research, however, your teachers have come up with a good one as it does not seem that you can use a direct search to find much.  So, now we try some other ideas:\n\n* my gut feel is that you should turn up the edges of the foil to create a pan type struture (think of your mothers deep pans with 3" to 4" side - roll the edges for strength and bold the corners in).  This would be a version of a flat boat.  You should practice to ensure that it works.\n\n* also, why not try to contact some actual boat engineers!  - try searching under "aluminum boats" and see if you can sent them emails to try to talk to an actual boat engineer.\n\n* I would also suggest trying to contact makers of aluminum foils to see if any of their engineers could give you any ideas.\n\n* Since this type of contest is run at other locations, you might also try tracking down some of the past winners to see what they learned and what their secrets were.\n\n* then try looking for foil boat !!!\nhttp://juniorengineering.usu.edu/workshops/buoyancy/boats.html\nhttp://www.new-sng.com/foilboat.cfm\nhttp://www.sciencenetlinks.com/Lessons.cfm?DocID=143\nhttp://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/boatsafloat.html\nhttp://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy00/phy00291.htm\nhttp://www.nps.gov/archive/miss/programs/brj/brjactivities/aluboat.html\nhttp://education.jlab.org/beamsactivity/6thgrade/designandengineering/designandengineering.pdf\nhttp://www.sciencenetlinks.com/lessons.cfm?BenchmarkID=3&DocID=143\nhttp://www.lessonplanspage.com/ScienceWillTheBoatSinkOrFloat4.htm\nhttp://www.monroe2boces.org/programs.cfm?subpage=955\nhttp://www.nps.gov/archive/miss/programs/brj/brjpdfs/aluboat.pdf\nhttp://users.marshall.edu/~bady/rsi/4th/4bouyancy.html\nhttp://www97.intel.com/en/ProjectDesign/UnitPlanIndex/FloatThatBoat/\n\n\n* Ah Ha - and the secret is (as I suspected):\nhttp://www.nps.gov/miss/forteachers/brjralumboat.htm\n\nNote to teacher:\n\nGive students the opportunity to be as creative as possible with the hull shape. Make no suggestions, unless to show how to fold up one side to make an edge. The best designs are flat barges with small sides. The placement of pennies also makes a difference in the number held. The record for one sheet of 8" x 12" foil is around 280 pennies. Recycle the foil along with your pop cans.\nScience Museum of Minnesota, 2001.\n\n\nOK, now that you know how to win the contest, I would still recommend contacting the engineers at the boat companies and the aluminum foil companies and be ready to talk about what you learn as you win the contest.  You will impress the judges so much with your knolwedge and skill of floating all those pennies that they will have to give you the prize.\n\n\nGood Luck.

Hello,\n\nSwimming is a wonderful sport that helps buil up our body. It is also touted as the best form of exercise for weight loss too.\n\nThere are a lot of strokes in swimming:\n\nFreestyle\nThe freestyle stroke, as it's name implies, is not limited by any particular technique. The stroke we now call freestyle, which is also known as the front crawl or Australian crawl, has been used since early last century. Only 15 meters can be swum underwater (from the start and from each turn), otherwise some body part must always be above the water. Some believe that the freestyle stroke was developed by Richard Cavill, an Australian who combined the overarm stroke with the up and down kick motion.\n\n\nBreaststroke\nSwimmers of the breast stroke must follow strict rules when performing the stroke. Their shoulders must be kept in line with the water, arm and leg movements must be pushed forward together, and brought back under the surface of the water. At the turn and finish, both hands must touch the wall together. At the start and first stroke and kick after a turn, the swimmers are allowed one arm stroke and one leg kick. At all other times the swimmer's head must be kept above the surface of the water. No dolphin, scissors or flutter kicks are allowed, nor tumble turns.\n\n\nButterfly\nThe butterfly stroke evolved from experiments with the breaststroke. When swimming the butterfly stroke, the swimmers must keep their shoulders in line with the surface of the water, and make arm and leg movements together. They also must not swim underwater, except for the first stroke after the start and each turn. Only 15 meters are allowed underwater at the start and after each turn, and the wall must be touched with both hands.\n\n\nBackstroke\nWhen swimming the backstroke, the swimmers remain on their back. This technique was first swum with a frog kick (like the breaststroke) then the up and down form that is used now. Similar to the freestyle, only 15 meters can be spent underwater from the start or from each turn. In 1991, the rules were changed so that when turning, the swimmers did not have to touch the wall with their hand, enabling them to do a much faster turn.\n\n\nMedley relays\nIn the individual medley races, the order of strokes is butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. \n\nIn the medley relay, the order is backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle, with the first swimmer starting in the water.\n\nHope this helps...\n\nCheck out the sources for more Help...

Well I'm not a geometer ... so I may err slightly here as i only had one non-euclidean geometry class and going over some links has only refreshed some of it.\n\nRiemannian geometry is otherwise known as elliptic geometry :\n"It can be visualized as the surface of a sphere on which "lines" are taken as great circles. In elliptic geometry, the sum of angles of a triangle is > 180 degrees"  [this last part taken from mathworld]. It is a "non-euclidean" geometry "with positive curvature" which replaces the "parallel postulate" with *through any point in the plane, there exist no lines parallel to a given line.*\n\ntaken from wikipedia :\nSpherical trigonometry is a part of spherical geometry that deals with polygons (especially triangles) on the sphere and explains how to find relations between the involved angles. This is of great importance for calculations in astronomy and earth-surface and orbital and space navigation.\n\nSo one could say ... paraphrase the above defn of spherical trigonometry mentioning how it is a study of the relations of polygons, angles etc on objects under (or in) a riemannian geometry system\n\nincluded below are some of the links so you can formulate a better answer than mine :) gain a better understanding and even give examples that you find in those links and related links :)\n\nenjoy :),\nTom

It all depends on the type of meet, number of other scoring age groups, scoring system and what other teams you are swimming against....with all that said... anything is possible in competition, that's why we compete.

Euclidean geometry\n\nEuclidean geometry is the geometry we r most familiar with, the geometry on flat surface.

When it comes to competetive swimming, freestyle simply means that there are few rules that govern how the stroke is judged.\n\nFreestyle swimming competitions can be any of the unregulated strokes such as front crawl, dog paddle, or sidestroke. Individual freestyle competitions can also be swum in one of the officially regulated strokes (breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke). The freestyle part of medley competitions, however, cannot use breaststroke, butterfly, or backstroke. Most competitive swimmers will choose to swim front crawl during freestyle competitions, as this style provides the fastest speed. Freestyle competitions have also been swum completely and partially in other styles, especially at lower ranking competitions. During the Olympic Games, front crawl is swum almost exclusively during freestyle.\n\nSpecific rules as defined by FINA:\n\n- Freestyle means that in an event so designated the swimmer may swim any style, except that in individual medley or medley relay events, freestyle means any style other than backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must touch the wall upon completion of each length and at the finish. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must break the surface of the water throughout the race, except it shall be permissible for the swimmer to be completely submerged during the turn and for a distance of not more than 15 meters after the start and each turn. By that point the head must have broken the surface.

Swimming is great! It's the world's best sports! When you swim, you work your whole body out! Unlike other sports like soccer which only focus on your legs.
