If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do they all follow?

They have to, or they won't win!

not necessarily means if someone get drown in an event like that the rest should follow... it is better for the rest to dive for thier drowned co-player and raised her up like a trophy then it would make sense...

i think they are both handed because if they were only one part handed when swimming they would start going round and round not properly

As a former lifeguard, I agree with Mike_1am. With the side stroke, you carry the person with one hand and use the other to swim. With the back stroke, unlike the swimmers in competitions I was taught to carry the person with both hands and use only my feet to propel my way back to safety.

There are dangers to the sport. The easiest way to stay safe is to always dive with a buddy.

no.  However, safety in numbers, hopefully you know how to swim, always obey posted signs and always obey the life guard.  Swimmers ability is always a factor but should not be the only factor.

As a coach I have gotten in the water and swam behind swimmers that need a little extra motivation.  I also encourage all of my swimmers and regularly meet on a one on one basis, set goal, monitor improvement, evaluate performance and help them work though challenges.  I have also been know to have fun practices either when the team needs a break or as a reward if everyone is doing well.

I'm assuming that you're referring to drowning with this question. The answer is none...the water is so salty that you cannot sink.

Well, there are 12 events in a swim meet. These events include 8 individual events, 3 four man relays, and diving in which up to three people can compete in. When two teams go head to head each team gets to fill up three lanes. Each swimmer can compete in a total of 4 events but no more than two relays or two individual events including diving. So if you do some math (which hopefully I did right) I think you could get by with as few 23 (if you have three guys specializing only in diving and that being their only event) if you want to be able to fill out every lane/spot in every event. Of course, you can have more or less than that but it would be hardly worth your while to have a team smaller than 10 swimmers as it would be all but impossible to win a meet.

You should DEFINITELY join! I have been swimming for a long time but i have also done other sports too. Swimming is definitely the hardest. You will have to work hard but don't even worry about your times compared to other people. You can't compare yourself to people who have been swimming longer than you. You should join your team and then focus on improving for yourself and work on beating your own times instead of other people's. It doesn't matter what other people are doing, just focus on improving for yourself.

I think so. To swim, you need to use all of your muscles and, depending on what stroke you do, it can be a really good excercise for certain muscles. Also, there are lots of differant levels of swimming that will challenge you more as you learn.

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.

My guess:  This is most likely a case of homicide. Signs of drowning does not prove anything. The important clues is:\nThe subject was naked. Generally women always dress up before comitting suicide, to protect their modesty.

I have seen people brought back to life that previously did not have a pulse or breathing. So I don't think the previous answers are accurate. \n\n To answer your quesiton sometimes I have seen the exact opposite I think they go too far trying to save people.  I have seen people in comas. I have also taken care of people who had strokes(that were revived) that would have preferred to die.
