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.

Are You Safe in a Pool During an Earthquake?
This video - which you need to watch with caution since it jerks around and could cause nausea or other video related health-effects - shows a swimming pool during an earthquake. Spoiler alert: Watch it all and see if there is a tsunami.
I was in Newport Beach, California, April this year and experienced an Earthquake, I'm glad I wasn't in a pool that time. I guess this has bigger intensity. The first part of this video, I was skeptical, it seemed that someone was just moving the camera. I just watched it all to see myself what's really going on the whole video.
By the way, will you be interested in adding our Swimwear Facts to your blogroll? You can read the article here: http://facts.randomhistory.com/swimwear-facts.html
You and your readers will enjoy reading it since there's plenty of facts to learn about swimwear like "Because the expansion of the railroad in the 1800s allowed more people to visit the sea side, the railroad was a major factor in creating a need for swimwear."
Let me know what you've decided and if you have any questions about the facts or our site.
