Backstroke

Swimming places high amounts of stress on the shoulder. This is why shoulder injuries are the top injury in the sport, estimated at ~50 - 80% in swimmers. Obviously, the amount of shoulder revolutions during practice are the primary contributor of shoulder stress, but other activities also add shoulder stress, increasing the risk of tissue default. Tissue Load Most injuries occur when the stress at a tissue becomes overloaded. In other words, if a stress placed on a tissue reaches capacity, the

has been swimming for a really long time, absolutely despises those practices. And yes, I still sometimes go to them. Your coach will push you at meets to do a stroke that you are horrible at. For example, my swim coach used to always make me do backstroke at meets, and I would do terrible. But that’s ok. I have dealt with more than someone who has only been swimming for a year or less. On my new team here in Colorado, I have gone through three coaches, and so many bad meets. On my old team I went

grade. I was the oldest and the tallest student in the entire group, but I was eager to learn. I took a deep breath and submerged myself into the chlorine-filled water. After three months, I was able to dive and swim in freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly

Everyone has a desire of some sort at one point in their life. Some people want to be rich and famous and some people just want a successful, joyous family. I personally have always wanted to be a glorious singer or a veterinarian or anything that would get me rich. But now that I think about it, money isn't the essential thing. What's important is what makes us pleased. Something that would make me happy, something that I desire most is to attend UCLA and to continue being a competitive gymnast

To start, it is easiest for the child to ‘doggy paddle;’ however, you should teach them the arms for freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Freestyle is the most common and generally fastest – aside from butterfly – style of swimming. One must move their arms in circles that go by the sides of the body and up near the ears forward. The back stroke is the same thing

Athletics had not always been a flauntable aspect of my life as they are now. In grades 1-4, I was uncoordinated and far too lanky to produce and store any muscle. I often ponder about what changed in the fifth grade, for I became very agile and have exercised almost every day since the beginning of that year. I did not pick up the sport of swimming until the seventh grade and I cannot imagine myself not swimming, not only as a source of exercise but as a source of pure pleasure. Elongated arms

Minister Mike's party included Skylar, Ethan, Mr Pisher and a meager handful of the remaining students each of whom tolerated the midday sun as they walked single-file around the massive Palace structure. The once magnificent lush grounds had turned into withering vegetation. Water was scarce. The new Government could not afford this luxurious expensive. Those who lived in the region did not know why the devoted groundskeepers had recently abandoned their post. Soon, it would become evident as

Etty Hillesum’s quote reminds me of a line in my college essay, “places and circumstances do not define us; it is how we react to our circumstances that defines us.” Throughout my life I faced many hardships such as moving multiple times, Madisyn’s disability, and loss of loved ones. However, the longest and most impactful obstacle in my life is swimming. I started swimming when I was about three years old at the local park district. At one of my lessons, I argued with the instructor and refused

“[Swimming]... It’s a very powerful social change tool because it teaches women confidence, self esteem and strength. It changes them. It’s part of the reason that the guys wanted women out of sports for a very long time.” 1 Donna Lopiano; “The reason we have females separated in sports is because in many sports, the best female athletes can’t compete with the best male athletes. And everybody knows that, but nobody wants to say it. Females are structured like a disabled class for all sorts of, I

The treatment of people with ADHD has varied over the years with what they can and cannot do. “ADHD stands for Attention-defiance hyperactivity disorder, it is a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity” (NAMI). Usually, it is diagnosed in early childhood, but it is not limited to children, adults can also be diagnosed later in their years. The diagnose effects about 9% in children ages 9-17 and 2-4% adults. The symptoms are different for everyone, because there is such
