Human swimming

Then came the official again, “swimmers take your mark” as this point I am in curl position almost like a human ball. I was eye to eye with my opponent, the only thing in my way from wining the water. Then the final whistle noise, hit my ear and boom I jump with all my might and I hit the water the ice cold water hard. While I jumped I said to myself “it’s ShowTime”. Then I started swimming I could feel my hand and legs moving across the water violently. The only thing I could hear was the loud…

When I was younger I had a goal to get a scholar athelete award. The reason I got the award is because I set two goals, get a state championship cut, and also mantain straight A’s for a single nine-weeks. Goals are an important part of a well round life. My athletic goal is to swim Division 1. I have swam sice I was eight, and naturally if I’ve made it this far I want to be at the top of a new level. I believe I have set myself in good position to swim in college. My father swam division 1 and…

Since the beginning of time, humans have always enjoyed rooting for the individual to succeed. Lets face it, we’ve all cheered on Rocky to knock out Apollo Creed at least once, we all applauded Malala Yousafzai for standing up against the Taliban in 2012, and I bet the Scots even cheered on Sir William Wallace for going against the English over 800 years ago. All in all, it’s as plain as the nose on one’s face that we just love people who have the confidence to swim against the current, or in…

the time sharks are most active. The instructors called us over to the water’s edge to observe what was happening. The water appeared calm, until they shined a huge spotlight onto the water; I could not believe what I had been missing. Silently swimming right by us were what looked like hundreds of sharks. It was mesmerizing and terrifying. I felt a tap on my back, and jumped, as the diving instructor looked at me questioning, “Well, what are you waiting for? Aren't you coming?” In the single…

A role model is a person that is looked up to or is an example to be imitated. In “True Story of Lake Ontario” a failed Olympic swimmer attempts a treacherous swimming expedition across Lake Ontario. Similarly a slightly precarious mountain climber makes her risky journey up Mount Everest in “Sharon Woods: No Limits”. Though both women are strong and sturdy role models, one is to a certain extent superior to the other. Even though Marilyn had become an outstanding rile model during her long…

After suffering a very painful injury in high school from competitive swimming due to overtraining and improper body mechanics, my need to return to the sport gave me a life altering exposure to the impact of healthcare and wellness. To regain my strength and ability to swim I went through several months of physical therapy. My time working with the physical therapist made me realize that if I had only known more about my body and how it works than I most likely could have prevent the majority…

everything seems normal then the main character Neddy thought that perhaps a long swim might celebrate its beauty.

the men have surpassed this time and have a limit that is nearly 20 seconds faster. The article “Assessing Time Trends in Sex Differences in Swimming & Running" explains, “…women seem to be limited to achieving speeds about 8% slower than men’s and that women’s improvement curve lags men’s by about a decade” (Wainer 14). That indeed women seem to be swimming at a slower rate than men. This could be due to the variations between sexes. Each sex seems to have their own private body parts to be…

greatly excited for swim since I wasn’t able to swim the year before. By the end of swim season, I swam a 24.45 personal best for my fifty free, my favorite event. I was super excited and began to realize I could possibly obtain some scholarships for swimming at possibly a D2 college. In the fall and spring I deer hunt and turkey hunt. Deer hunting is my favorite activity by far. I got my love for deer hunting from my dad who taught me as a kid how to hunt. The reason I mainly hunt is for the…
