Swimming & Diving

It's just I'm thinkning about joining, but it might be too high pressure. I am on a very low key one right now, but I may want to go up more. Any suggestions?

My 5 year old son and I went to the Sumner Pool today. As soon as we stepped out of the locker room to wait by the pool for 3 minutes before the 1 o'clock swim begins: the teenage punk lifeguard comes over to bully us. He told us where to stand and wait. He told us very imidatingly about the "pool rules" and threatened to throw us out. This was our first time there. I was there to teach my 5 year old son to swim. We have been to the Enumclaw pool many times and never been treated this way. I want a refund on the punch card I bought. They denied me the refund. The Sumner pool is run down and the teenage lifeguard is on a power trip. If I had known this I would have not wasted my money.

My family and I are on vacation in New Port Richey and have signed up for swimming with manatee. I know these guys are gentle giants of the ocean but was wondering just how safe they are. Is there any chance that one might spaz and take out one of my kids? I have found many sites stating that they are very timid and curious and do not think it will be a problem but have to make sure.

The place we are going is close to the bay and according to the map, does not look like it is fed by the ocean so i'm not worried about sharks (which is my greatest phobia). Although I am a little nervous about gators, i'm sure the crew who are running this little manatee swim excursion know what they are doing and will keep us away from the monsters :)

Has anybody done this before - please share thoughts and experiences as it looks like it will be quite memorable.

Thanks in advance!

I'm 19 years old, and I can't swim. I'm gonna put my ego aside and sign up for a class soon. If anyone has ever taken an adult class, please share your experiences.

Some (oebese) people, just lay themselves on the back. In accidents some people float, and others sink. -Obviously one part of people, with proportionally less sceleton in them have a density lower than water; and they float, the other contrary, and they sink.

That must be the prerequisite for swimming... So the question is "Is it possible for everyone to swim? -What makes it possible -the air in the lungs and/or the movements in the water?

If you float; how, then, can you sink? -If you sink; how, then, can you raise in the water? -How can you bring loads up to the surface?

I just bought a cute pair of underwear that could be tectnically worn for swimming purposes. The material is 93% Cotton, 7% Spandex. Will they be damaged by pool water? Will they fade? They are baby blue in color.

A stubborn one that is very sensitive to temperature? I am going on vacation with this person in a week, and I want to enjoy it without worrying that he isn't...because it will involve swimming and snorkeling.

I feel that wearing a one-piece swim suit all day, using it as my undergarment is more comfortable. I often wear under my clothing even when I am not swimming just for the comfort of wearing it.

Do you all do the same and do you all think it is advisable to do so?

I know that after you swim laps and you get out of the water you might start sweating. But, when you are actually in the water swimming....do you sweat?

My uncle and I are running swim lessons at his pool this summer. We have groups of 4 kids, with ranging ages and levels. Both my uncle and myself are competitive swimmers, and are really comfortable in the water. We usually split up the kids into groups of 2, and I take the younger kids, who are usually a little less advanced. I just need something to fill all of our time. I have 30 minutes for 2 kids. There's a lot of one-on-one time and a lot of repetition, which I know is good, but I wish we had more activities. I'm trying to get them to blow bubbles. And there's a big step that's in a foot of water and I'll have them place their entire face in the water to get a dive ring. And of course they hold the wall and kick, and then we use kickboards, and they practice jumping in and putting their head under. But most of them are too small and new at this to "swim" from one step to another. I just need more small confidence-building activities to get them comfortable in the water
