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.

New Template
After five years of writing this blog, I finally took the plunge (there's a good word for it) and updated this blog's template to something more blog 2.0ish. Hope you like it. Let me know if you find any problems. Thanks for everyone's support!

Your Spouse Wants a Sun Room - You Want a Pool
What's a rich guy to do. The wife wants a sun room and you want a pool. How about a sun room where the floor sinks down at the touch of a button and gives you a pool?!
Check out this web site from Hydrofloors.
Oh, but what about the wet floor? "Honey, can you throw me another towel, please."

Is Swimming Under Water Faster than Surface Swimming?
Is Swimming Under Water Faster than Surface Swimming? Hill Taylor, aka Dolphin Man, from the University of Texas, proves that yes it is. It's just not technically legal in an NCAA sanctioned swim meet. In this video, he beats the world record in backstroke by a full minute (cough cough).
Like my last post, I got this from the Wired feed. Don't know what's up with these geeks. Are they suddenly cool to be around?
