I KNOW they exist and I KNOW they have CUTE ones...I don't want an ugly one. hahaha I'm a swimmer, year round. I've seen girls wear CUTE two piece practice suits with no cleavage cut. So pleeeeeeeeeease? If any of you swimmers have them can you answer with a link, brand, or store (Northern Calif?) thanks!

How can you prevent getting your swim suit stretched. After swimming in the pool, do you wash it/soak it in water to get the chlorine out> and how do you hang to dry?

I want to start swimming for exercise and to lose weight. I have already lost over 140lbs and have hit a wall in my weight loss I want to know if I should buy a regular suit or a racing style like a jammer I am now down to a 38 inch waist and this is the first time I will be in a swimsuit in over 6 years. Just want your opion

I'm a competitive swimmer, and I recently joined club swimming. My school ends at 3:30 and I'm on the Junior Varsity team for my school which is 4th period for me. So I basically come from the pool, go home, have a snack, then come back to the pool by 5:00 which is when club starts and it ends at 7:00.

It's just that... I hate the fact that I'm so lazy and I'm always dragging myself from the couch at home to get up to leave for swim practice.

My coach gives hard sets that are long so it makes me less motivated cause i think "ughh i'm going to have to be doing that again" I feel lame cause I want to be a faster swimmer, I just never want to go.

I always just want to stay home and relax, not go back to the pool and swim again.


So how do I stop being lazy and get more motivated and energetic to go to swim practice?

Thankyou

i think uglies but im not sure im a competitive swimmer

I haven't swam on a team in about 6 years and am taking a test for a lifeguard job in about 2 weeks. I have to swim a 500 (the first 200 in 3min30sec) and also tread with a brick for I believe 30 sec-1min. How do I practice to get in better conditioning for the swim? The speed is not an issue, its just maintaining my endurance.

I've never understood why they do it. I asked my bf and he just smiled and chucked me in the water. Why do you do it?

i know that swimmers should eat a lot of carbohydrates but when?? like the day before the swim meet?? what about the day of the swim meet?? and what about practice?? how long should i eat before practice?? and any examples of a good meal?? or just anything that i should be eating during the day?? thank you for any ideas or advice!!

still sore! What should I do??! It's like my shoulders, my upper back pretty much everything up there and it even hurts to touch it.. uhh. Advice?! P.s what exactly is sore??! Oh, you don't need to tell me I'm out of shape :P I did it!

Well, a bunch of my friends have been having debates over swimming in Jell-O. Mainly we argue about what would happen if you dived in from a high-dive of a pool. Some people say that the jell-o is too thick, some say the jell-o would break up as you worked your way up, making it easy for you to get up, some people think you would just go a little bit deep, then stop, someone thinks that you could walk on it, someone else thinks that yu could lay on top of it... And I'm looking for an answer. Mainly an answer with evidence of some sort. thank you

My family is going to the gulf of mexico for a week vacation and I wandt to be sure the kids are all outfitted with rash gurds and suits that don't say "eat me! eat me!" since they all splash so much. I know to avoid dusk and dawn, and jewelry and blood, but I can't find anything on colors, just big contrast.

Right now, I think I am the slowest person on my team. I am lazy, and I only push myself during my meets only (So far from the beggining of the season my 50 free has been from 48-36 seconds) I want to get faster and get on to varisty next year. I know I have to give up junk food and sodas, and go to every practice. But really what should I do to work out? I already know the best way is swim 2 hours in the moning, and 2.5 in the afternoon and weights 3 times a week, what else can I do? I feel that alone would not help me get to a faster time, to varisty.

Or rather ear, singular, since it only seems to be a problem for my right ear, since I breathe to the right. I don't really care about areodynamics since I'm not swimming competitively, so I don't want to waste my money on a cap if it's not going to help.

Then why do Werewolves sink? I can't understand it.

My parents never made me take lessons when I was really young, like most parents do. (around ages of 4 or 5 they start). Well; I didn't start to take lessons till I was 12. =/
I was in a class with a bunch of little kids and believe me I sucked. It was so hard, I took lessons for two years and well I didn't pass the one grade. So, I can float a little and do the breast stroke but not well. Worse part, I can;t tread deep water at all, i'll stink, can't do freestyle, side swim, back swim, whatever can't.
Problem is, I;m going to be a freshman next year and I'm taking summer gym because we have to swim. I'm afraid of embarassing myself since I cant swim and with all the other people who can I'm gonna humiliate myself. it's madatory to swim. =[ I'm scared.
