Swimming & Diving

Yeah, I'm new at the whole competitive level of it, but I've been doing the strokes since I was little. 'Cept the butterfly, that's a killer! Any other useful tips are appreciated too.

I am about to buy a 13000 gallon pool and before I do I want to make sure that I can get it filled up since I live kinda in the country. I heard that if you donate money to the fire dept. they will come fill up your pool. Is this true? If it is how much should I donate?

I am slightly sick w/ a cold. (Recovering actually) I feel better but I'm still not 100 %. It is a 2 1/2 hour, intense practice and I have a swim meet coming in 3 weeks in which I am swimming the 800 meter freestyle so I kinda need to stay in shape. What should I do??

I have heard of people throwing babies in pools and they learn how to automatically, but I cant imagine doing that with my 2 month old. Is that true and what kind of swimming experiences do you have with your youngsters.

I have a brand new bathing suit and I love it! Only problem is the straps. The straps need to be criss crossed instead of vertical. It has been YEARS since I was on the swim team, but I know there is a device or a clip of some sorts you can buy specifically for this, that will pull the straps together. I dont really want to use a hair clip or something that will look tacky. I have tried looking it up and couldn't find a darn thing! If you know what I am talking about and can provide a link, that will be great. If not, any suggestions you have to pull the straps together, will be helpful!

Ok so I know the motions and have been able to somersault on one spot. But when swimming up to a wall and going into a turn I get all sideways and its just pathetic!
Can anyone recommend anything to improve the flip turn at this basic level??? For example, do you suggest I viciously go into the turn or just roll into it gently.
Thanks!!!

Is there a real difference in what kind of salt I use for my salt water pool system? Can I just buy the 50 lb bag from Smart & Final for $5 as opposed to the 40-lb "pool salt" bag for $10 from my local pool supply company? Aren't they both the same form of salt, so long as I don't use rock salt? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!! :)

I started to swim last week. If I swim for about an hour/5 or 6 times a week, when will I start seeing results (tone/bulk up, broaden shoulders, etc.) ? and, how much should I be able to swim whithin an hour after one month of constant swimming (I have a good physical condition because I run every day)?

I heard this from somewhere, but I don't know if it's true. I tried using some defogger that you wipe on the inside of your windshield, but that doesn't work.

I am a magician, so ever since I saw David Blaine's Drowned Alive stunt, I have been training for my own breath hold stunt. I have been training for nearly a year now, and I can hold my breath UNDERWATER for several minutes on average. My best time was 4:29. How long can you hold for?

My daughter is swimming this summer and we are looking for a good pair of goggles for her. Preferably, I am looking for a pair with a double head strap to help keep them in place. Thanks!

But not too tight either? I want to cover my thighs, pretty much, while I'm swimming laps, but I don't want baggy shorts because they cause too much drag, and I don't want them skin tight because I hate my thighs. So, anything in between would be perfect!
