I use swimming fins at my local pool that they provide. I am thinking about buying a pair of my own, and want a pair that would maximize my workout. The question is what kind should I buy: a zoomer or monofins or stick with the standard medium fins. Any feedback is appreciated.

I was at the pool the other day and someone in the change room was covering herself with baby oil before going to the pool. Why would someone do this, and wouldnt that harm the other swimmers, wouldnt it wash off anyway in the clorine? This is the first time I ever saw anyone do this.

I am on a compettitive swim team. While swimming Freestyle and butterfly , I havent been able to move my arms fast, just this one slow steady pace. Also my arms will hurt when they are bieng liffted out of the water, and they also feel really heavy. Some days it is worse than others. May time added 7 seconds in 1 month. The pain goes up the side of my arm to my shoulder

Is this normal? What can I do about it? What is happening? Should I talk to my coach about it?

Do u have to know how to float in the water before you can scuba dive.

I'm going to Catalina Island and they offer all the training and stuff, but I dont know if you have to know how to float before you start the training.

I can swim from one side of the pool to another but for some reason i just never learned how to float.

Hey,
Does opening your eyes in a pool hurt your eyes? Because everytime in in a pool I normally open my eyes underwater (mostly in my uncles pool though which has no chlorine but instead a salk solution to clean teh water). I also wear glasses so I was woundering if maybe the water had a part in it.

I swim laps at a public pool quite frequently, and I was wondering if it is slightly in-decent for a man to swim without a light top such as a skin tight spandex type t-shirt.

How many of you all prefer nude swimming over swimming with clothes. I love to swim naked me and my fiancee and my 3 year old daughter. When we get our pool trunks will never enter.

I know that Olympic swimmers are usually the ones who start swimming early in their lives - maybe when they were 2 or 3.
But what about people who start swimming later in their lives, like say in their 20s? What's the future for them? Do they get to compete in any competitions? Do they just swim for health since Olympics may(?) be out of their reach due to this late start?

I'm not aiming for the Olympics or anything but I'm really very curious to know about this.

What about you? Do you swim competitively? When did you start swimming? What kind of swimming competitions do you take part in?

My sister gets sinus due to the chlorine in the swimming pool.
Is there anything she can do to overcome this, instead of just avoiding swimming?
I want her to swim with me. I don't want her to never be able to swim again.

Thank you so much!!

I am swimming in the Alacatraz Shakfest 2007 race in June, and I am looking for training tips as well as race tips for the race. I am in pretty good shape. I am up to a 3000 yd swim in 1 Hour in light to moderate currents. I live in HI though so I am also concerned about not having enough training time in a wet suit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
