...Website address: URL: http://www.swimmingwithoutstress.co.uk/about-us.html B. Description of the website: This website is established by some coach in UK. In order to help people overcome the fear of water, there are a lot of information about swimming in this website which can be divided into two core parts. For the first part, it is the swimming theory. The readers, especially for the beginning, can refer to the “Swimmer Experiences”, “Swimming technique” and “Swimming advice”. Not only words, there are many pictures and videos to explain the theory so that the readers can clearly understand the complicated theory. Apart from the theory, there is online shop for the swimming products. Except the swimming basis, there are some poolside products which can let the swimming process more convenient, like Goggle Case and lens cleans. These two products can protect the goggle. Moreover, there are training aids for the swimmers to improve their swimming skills while practise. For instance, the Sphere Microfin Hp and Sphere Fitness Gloves can help the swimmer to feel the strength of hands and legs. C. Name any information from the website that can help to improve your swimming skill. These two parts of the website provide some basic reminder for the swimmers, as the writers of the blogs focus on some common problems that the swimmer will face. One of them is quite inspiring, it is about breathing. Unlike the traditional way of teaching beginner to swim which is “blowing...

...Swimming Survival Whenever learning swimming it is very important to not only get better in a fitness aspect and a way of staying healthy, but one of the most important things to learn about while swimming is swimming to survive. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2004, there were 3,308 unintentional drowning’s in the United States, an average of nine people per day. Also according to the American Academy of Pediatrics it is estimated that for each drowning death, there are 1 to 4 nonfatal submersions serious enough to result in hospitalization. Children who still require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the time they arrive at the emergency department have a poor prognosis, with at least half of survivors suffering significant neurologic impairment. There are many different instances in which the ability to swim affectively can save yours or somebody else’s life in a certain situation. Some of these situations include flood, ocean, river or even your basic swimming pool can all produce its own level of hazards or obstacles that can potentially cause saver injury or death. One technique that will help in some of these situations according to essortment.com is back floating also known as "sculling," the back float is performed by lying flat on your back with your feet relaxed and slightly apart. Your arms are at your sides moving slowly side-to-side. If you feel yourself sinking, raise your chin putting your head further back in the...

Advance Freestyle Advance Breastroke Video (explanation) * Right arm pull 3 counts * Right arm pull 2 counts * Basic backstroke Advance swimming: * Advance Freestyle A competition in which the contestant is given more latitude than in related events, “especially “ swimming competition in which the swimmer may use any stroke. The freestyle stroke, also known as front crawl, is the fastest and most efficient of the competitive Swimming Stroke. That's why it is always used in the freestyle event of swimming competitions and is also often the preferred stroke of experienced swimmers and triathletes. Your arms execute alternating movements. One arm moves backwards in the water from an overhead position towards the hip and provides propulsion. The other arm recovers above water from the hip towards the overhead position. Afterwards your arms exchange their roles. Your legs do the flutter kick, which means they are extended and kick downwards and upwards in the water with pointed toes. This is a simple and efficient kicking technique. * Your head is in line with your trunk and you look straight down. * Both arms are extended overhead. Your palms are turned downward. * You kick using a supple flutter kick. The Swim Stroke's Cycle: 1. The wrist of your propulsive...

...To: Diane M. Comi, J.D., LL.M. From: Sam Smith Date: September 14, 2014 Re: Medical Expense Deduction under IRC 213 for Swimming Pool FACTS The taxpayer, Susan, suffers from severe osteoarthritis in both knees and has a hard time living comfortably. Susan has taken many precautions to better her health including: cortisone injections, painkillers, physical therapy, and arthroscopic surgery. Being that this is a hereditary disease, the doctors predict that it’s only going to get worse. The key to alleviate the pain is to keep moving, thus it is extremely painful for Susan to remain active. Swimming maintains good cardio with little to no impact; therefore her doctor prescribed her to swim daily. She is hesitant to go to the city pool because the pool is too far, too cold, and it’s extremely crowded. Her gym does not have a pool either. Susan would like to construct a heated pool in her backyard so she can swim at her own convenience without any annoyances. Her grandchildren can also use the pool when they come to visit. She just wants a basic swimming pool at the lowest price available. Yet she is still concerned about the price and would at least like to deduct the cost of maintaining and installing a pool in her backyard as a medical expense. ISSUE Can Susan deduct the cost of installing and maintaining a pool as a qualified medical expense? CONCLUSION Susan is allowed to claim a medical expense deduction for installing and maintaining a pool in her back yard under...

...dual-enrollment social psychology class at the community college in my neighborhood is what sparked my interest in psychology. I became fascinated with the subject and knew from that moment that I wanted to pursue a degree in this field. Working with children is what I always pictured myself doing. My first job was at Quality Swimming, where I taught children (and adults) swimming lessons, and helped many of them get over their phobias of the water. To help the children overcome their phobia, we were trained to use systematic desensitization. We would begin with gradually exposing the children to the pool: starting with the children sitting on the top step, and slowly moving into deeper and deeper depths of the pool. The ultimate goal was to “teach water safety and instill in all students a love for the water.” While at Quality Swimming, I was able to apply knowledge from the classroom into my teaching. For instance, because of differences in the development of age groups, and individual differences I was able to create specific lesson plans to meet...

...desired to be separated. It has different parts which has different uses. It is also composed of different simple machines like the wheel and axle, screws, and a wedge. The wheel and axle in Easy roll is the wheels for it to easily be moved from one place to another. The screws are the ones that hold some parts together. The wedge is the zipper because it splits the plastic cover into two. Backstroke HISTORY OF BACKSTROKE Backstroke is an ancient style of swimming, who owes most of what it has to Harry Hebner. It was the second stroke to be swum in competitions after the front crawl. The first Olympic backstroke competition was the 1900 Paris Olympics men's 200 metre. Backstroke has a similar speed to butterfly. Race times for the butterfly are superior to those for the backstroke mostly because the former allows a racing start from poolside and the latter does not. In races beyond 200 meters, backstroke would actually be the faster of the two, though it mainly depends on the stamina of the swimmer. The maximum swimming speed for backstroke is...

...Professor PHYS 2010 October 21, 2014 Physics in Our Daily Activities Physics is a very important science that can almost be found anywhere in our lives. Many people find this statement hard to believe because they are not able to see the basic aspects of physics all around them. I personally think that unless the person is a physicist or at least someone who had some physics classes, chances are this person or someone is not going to understand how much physics affects our daily life. The significant effect of physics on us today can be easily seen when looking at our reliance on modern technology. Many of the technologies that are changing the world around us are based on physics principles. Physics is more than a subject we study in class, it is also a powerful tool that can help us to gain a better understanding of the everyday world. Physics can be seen in a lot of simple games that we play all the time. One of my favorite games that I almost play on a daily basis is pool. The physics associated with pool is mainly about the collisions between the pool balls. When two pool balls hit each other or collide the collision between them is known to be an elastic collision. According to Billiards in the Classroom, "elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision." Therefore, we can assume that the collisions that happens...

...Carroll L. Banks English 1010 Christina Norman June 27, 2013 Learning to Swim Learning to swim is something every person needs to know. It can be challenging and frightening. Some are afraid of getting in the water. Swimming has many benefits: fun in the water, boating, fishing, and an excellent exercise routine. Swimming is one of the best work-out for the entire body and uses all of the major muscle groups. It improves your cardiovascular and circulatory systems. Physical Therapists use it as an exercise for knee patients. Learning to float is essential to controlling the body motions. Children master this technique easier than adults because of the fear factor. Getting comfortable in the water is the first step. Start out in the shallow end of the pool. Using slight movements, such as holding onto the edge while walking around, lowering your body into the water, and learning to hold your breath above and below the water. Doing these exercises for 3 hours (two one and a half hour sessions) will make trainees comfortable and eliminate stressful fear. The dead man’s float is easier for beginners. Relax your body; stand in waist deep water with your stomach pulled in. Stretch or elongate the neck and tuck your chin back. Take a deep breath; hold it in and lean forward, putting your face in the water while you extend your arms forward. Allow your legs to float to the surface one at a time while looking at the bottom of the pool. Stay relaxed. Being tense will not keep...

...Getting your child involved in swimming lessons is one of the best things you can do as a parent. Not only will your child improve coordination, social skills, and ability but they will also learn life saving techniques. This new venture with your child will bring both of you closer together, both learning how to swim and be comfortable in the water. Giving your child the gift of swimming cannot be compared to anything else you would do for your child as a parent. Lessons are designed for all ages and abilities making it quite easy to get your child involved. In the 7 years that I have been teaching children to swim I have run into the same questions over and over again from parents. I have compiled this frequently asked questions guide specifically for parents that are looking for answers and don't know where to find them. Everyone down to your mother has their opinions and myths about swimming lessons and finding correct answers may prove to be difficult. Here are the questions that parents most frequently have asked me about swimming lessons as well as a couple of myth breakers. What skills will my child gain? Learning to swim greatly increases a child's ability to grow and develop....

...Personal Training Paper Daniel T. O’Grady HPE 170 October 14, 2013 In order to properly guide myself in the right direction to a personal weight loss goal, it is important that I critiqued the physical activity I was performing before I tried to take on this program. Essentially, I was a hard worker. Though not considered a “gym rat” by any means, I work in a high volume restaurant that requires me to be on my feet for most of the day. Now, even though this does not have to be considered a daily work out ritual, doing so for nine hours at a time, five days per week can be just as tedious as a cardio workout. Once I realized I would want to better my physical fitness, I began researching ideas that could help me to do so. Eating right of course is the first thing to a better and healthier body. Anyone will tell you, you can go to the gym countless hours per week, but if you are putting garbage in your body, it isn’t necessarily going to make a huge difference. I have tried fad diets and exercising, and yes, they did work for certain periods of time, but in the end the weight came back. Jogging in the summer and spring turned into waiting through the fall and the winter, and during that time we tend to put pounds on rather then shed them. Holidays and parties and the cold weather would all relate to eating more and exercising less. When I would work, I would use that as my excuse to say I was getting enough physical activity. Being on the schedule that...

...muscle building and toning the body would be appropriate. Currently I do not follow any type of training routine because I have a lot to do at my work. When I get back home all I do is relaxing, doing my lessons or watching something on the TV. I am aware about having a workout but not too much, which could boost up my energy level and endorphins. An hour of exercise on 2 or 3 days in a week at least would be setting my life into a regulation; which includes low-power weight lifting, jogging and walking, and swimming. I also have concern about my abdomen muscles and would like to firm up them by adding sit-ups to the workout routine. Previously, I liked doing high active bike exercises by climbing up a hill by cycling; and weight lifting every evening in my basement with the personal gym of mine. Regrettably, I don’t have my BMX or the gym anymore, so I cannot race or train at present. Activities that are very effective to the physic would be walking and swimming. The body needs to be continuously in moving position to sustain the increased heartbeats that are very useful in calorie...

...What is the YMCA? The Y is made up of all ages from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. The YMCA’s motto is that they work to insure everyone, regardless of gender, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background, has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. They share the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. In this paper you will learn a lot about the YMCA’s history, its founder, and some of the activities. George Williams founded the YMCA in 1844. In 1844 twenty-two-year-old George Williams joined 11 friends to organize the first Young Men’s Association (YMCA), a refuge of Bible study and prayer for young men seeking escape from life on the streets. The Y offered something unique for its time. The organization’s drive to meet social need in the community was compelling. And its welcoming to members crossed rigid lines separating English social classes. Thomas Valentine Sullivan led the formation of the first U.S. YMCA at the Old South Church in Boston on December 29, 1851. The first “student YMCA” was started in 1856 at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. Dedicated to the leadership development of college students, student Y’s remaining active on the campuses of major universities such as the University of Illinois. In 1853, the first YMCA for blacks was founded by Anthony Bowen, a freed slave, in Washington, D.C. YMCA housing began in the 1860s to give young men moving to cities from rural areas safe...

...Ky follows the rules and doesn’t deviate from them, metaphorically swimming along the surface. When Ky does defer from the rules, he is very deceptive in an effort to remain to appear still swimming along the surface. After playing games with Ky, Xander suggests that he knows Ky is losing the games on purpose, in an effort to remain in on the surface and not stand out to Society. ““Why would he throw so many games? He knows the Officials watch us. He knows they’re looking for people who can play well. He knows our play probably influences what vocations they assign us. It doesn’t make sense.” (Condie, 227) It is only in an experience in the theatre, when Cassia catches Ky crying. “When they do, [Ky] is calm and composed and back to the Ky I know. Or the one I thought I knew. No one else has noticed. Ky does not know that I have seen him.” (Condie, 91) This raises a new point...
