| Pool Eye In-Ground Alarm System
Do you want two levels of protection at an affordable price? Combining a motion detector and underwater wave sensor, this innovative pool alarm system provides double safety and peace of mind. The initial line of defense comes from an infrared motion detector that features a 180-degree/100-foot range. When an object comes near the pool an alarm sounds both at the pool and at the in-house receiver. A patented underwater wave detector that signals when an object weighing 15 lb.or more falls into the pool enforces the second line against accidents. This system has two alarms-- one at the pool and one at a remote receiver. The alarm at the pool can ei (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Learning to Swim on Your Side: Your Key to Triathlon Swimming |
| |
| When we learned to swim freestyle as children, most of us swim flat in the water, with little or no hip rotation as our arms are doing the majority of the work. Many triathletes and open water swimmers have found it necessary to change their stroke and swim more on their sides in order to conserve energy, swim faster, and get through potential rough water conditions with greater ease.Rotating from side to side as you swim is a method that has been around for over 30 years. When Mark Spitz was gaining national recognition in the early 70’s, many critics said his only problem is that he does this side-to-side action as he swims! Little did they realize just how revolutionary that (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Interval Training for Swimming Distance |
| |
| Training for a distance swimming event is very different from training for a run or cycling event. When training for a marathon, for example, you would start out with short runs, and gradually increase your mileage each week as you build up endurance. You may work on sprints to increase speed, but overall the goal is to run further or for a longer period of time to get ready for the event. When training for an open water swim or triathlon, you must do much more than just swim more laps each time you hop in the pool.First of all, you have to understand that racing any distance over about 200 yards consists of using a combination of aerobic endurance and anaerobic endurance. Aerobic (read full article) |

| |
| Have you taken a break from swimming?Do you feel out of shape and feel the need to get back in shape quickly?
Here are some tips to help you get back to feeling the best you can in the water:1. Don't try to do too much too soon. Start out with long, slow swims. If you can't do long swims, start with short, slow swims and little by little build up your endurance.2. Don't jump in the "fast lane". If you are doing masters, don't be tempted to "pick up where you left off." Swallow your pride and start out a lane or two slower than when you last worked out.3. Don't use fins for speed. Fins are great for technique work and drills, but the worst thing you can do is t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Synchronized Swimming Advantage for Twins |
| |
| The Olympic Contests for Synchronized Swimming are a testament to the natural human ability of telepathy. What we find in College and University Level synchronized swimmers thru observation and data of the top athletes is that those teams which have been long time friends seem to have a mind connection, which far surpasses generally accepted scientific knowledge. Those synchronized swimmers that are twins have even a greater advantage, as results show that twins are often some of the top performers in the sport. These observations are quite obvious and statistically too high to be coincidence.There is a Synchronized Swim team of twins from Ohio who are so good it appears they are c (read full article) |
