??? i think it would vary depending upon how long someone can hold their breath, what type of situation it was...like, if someone were being violently drowned, they may suck in water making it quicker. same with drinking. being inebriated may decrease the time if the person was less in control of bodily function.... why are you asking.....

sure... you don't have to go in the water anyway\nI mean if people can't swim and they go in the pool - then they deserve to drown, right?

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.

I know an excellent trainer in Vancouver.  No wait, I just remembered he drowned last year trying to save an air mattress at the shallow end of the pool. I'm really Sorry.

I float in a fresh water pool, don't you?  My head is not above water, but if my lungs are full of air I do not sink.  If I empty my lungs then I will sink.  What is your question?

i noticed that too!!!! like by the hundreds, i think either the water drifts them out, or they can't breath under the water and the mud so they get out!

your body will float, but with sufficient wave action you still might drown since you cannot breathe water.

The water pressure holds it while you're actually IN the water, however, when you get out of the water, you will bleed. And everyone will know. So DON'T take the chance.\n\nTampons are a swimmer's best friend.

NO!!!  Many people tell me "Everyone can float on their back."    I tell them I don't float.  So they proceed to tell me how I do it wrong.  \n\nSo they (even swim instructors) get me to float on my back and let go, my legs start sinking and slowly the rest of me sinks. Until my nose is underwater and where I finally stop sinking, but then I can't breathe.

Since none of us died, we don't know if that happens. It may be crazy survivor stories. Or it could be when your brain can't get enough oxygen, you may have synestatic experiences due to a hormone imbalance.

Free divers practice by doing a dead mans float in a pool during regular practices every week. Basically they just go limp and face down in the water. It's best to do this with a partner in case there is a problem.\n\nYou should also completely exhale and inhale a few times before going under. Again, swim with a partner in case there are complications.

i really cant help you out on the diving part but the person that answered already seemed to sort of answer that.\n\nbreaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly are the three other strokes besides freestyle. \n\nin an individual medley, the order goes butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and then freestyle. \n\nbutterfly is the one with the wide arms and a dolphin kick. \n\nbackstroke is basically freestyle on your back.\n\nand breaststroke is the one that looks like a froggy. \n\nif you need like actual in depth of what each one is, you can either post another question or email me.

Wouldn’t they have to?  After all, if they didn’t all drown then they would loose points!

What the hell does your question have to do with swimming and diving?

The only way to become a stronger swimmer is to swim more! Join a swim team and 4 laps will be nothing after a few weeks.\n\nIt does seem lifeguards are kind of jerks, but they are doing their job and don't want anyone to drown,  Can you imagine what it would be like if you let someone drown?  The person drowning also might be inconvenienced.

Most people who drown do not have water in the lungs due to a bronchospasm that shuts off the windpipe. He would not have water in the stomach either, because swallowing requires peristalsis through the espophogus. \n\nIam sorry for your loss.
