Swimming & Diving

I get to within 1 mile of the US coast, but feel very tired. Should I swim back and have a rest?

After our swim practice or swim meets, I always stay at the pool, my gf and a few of her friends swim with me, and they try to hold me underwater for long periods of time. I can stay underwater for on average 3 to 4 minutes. Is this crazy? I just love to swim, and swim with my gf and at times with Maries friends.

I am learning to swim and doing it with a snorkel, I have noticed that I am breathing much slower and deeper since using the snorkel. I am not having any pain I am just curious about this.

I am about to start scuba lessons with a friend in Florida but I am very concerned with the issues I have from time to time with my ears. I have a very hard time getting them to pop during alergy season. Will this lead to a painful experience or will the presssure while under make it easier?

I just found out I have runner's knee (which means the underside of my kneecap is getting scraped by my femur). My doctor suggested swimming as the only exercise I can do for a while. The problem is, the only stroke I know is freestyle, and I'm not even very good at that. Can you explain to me how to swim without kicking my legs too much, which is painful on my knee? What types of swimming strokes should I use? Any advice for a beginning swimmer?

Links to sites with pictures and/or video is most helpful here.

okay today my class(im a freshmen) got the privilege to go in the pool. i was excited because i have a pool and i will probably be a good swimmer. the teacher divided us into groups not so good simmers and great swimmers i decided to be in the great swimmer group. well the pool is 13ft deep and the lenghth is more then 35 feet. by one lap i was tired i started swimming like a dog and i was embarrased. do you know how to have more energy for the pool or be more good in the pool?

Every time I go I end up with cramp in both feet. Just starting out swimming again after a year out, and it's driving me mad and cutting my swim sessions short.

When it comes to swimming, people say Ian Thorpe this..Ian Thorpe that. Is he really that good? I thought he was beaten by Pieter Van Den Hoogenband, Gary Hall Jr., Alexander Popov and etc?

I have been told that I should kick with my hip in freestyle swimming; however, I can't do it, and I always kick with the lower part of my legs (calves) Why? Any video on the web that I can look how professionals kick? (under water camera view)

Our favorite sports allow us to relax, and think much better afterwards... is this true with you too? Why?
