I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Navy Seals Rule
Come up. Come up. OK, really now! Come up! That's what I'm thinking as I saw a video of a group of guys trying to qualify for Navy Seals. They were doing what I've never really considered possible - swimming 50 meters underwater. Ever since I saw that show, I've wondered what their qualifications were. Well Splash Dog stumbled across this a few weeks ago and now that I'm back I thought I'd share what I've found. They do some amazing stuff. Some of it quite doable, the rest well - this 50 meter thing is one of them.
