Comparing Pre-test to Modified Post- test results Comparing Sam’s pre-test results to his modified post-test results, he improved his swimming time by 2seconds (by 0.51%) and running time by 14 seconds (1.73%). Therefore, Sam slightly improved his Aquathlon time by 18 seconds (by 1.37%) (see figure 5). This could be as a result of three main reasons.

Serena glanced up at the ceiling as her feet dangled below the freezing, cold water below her. She spun in circles, jumping up from the water while the bright, beautiful blue dolphins circled around her. Serena jumps up one last time, falling on her back as she hits the water. “I can not believe I am here,” she thinks to herself. “It’s a wonderland, a paradise in fact. I love it here.” Serena still facing the ceiling begins to slowly stray away from her previous spot in the water as the dolphins

Who would have thought that one swim meet could spark an interest and love for a sport for years to come? That is my mindset when I look back on that one swim meet. Three years ago, it was my first year of swimming competitively; In February of 2015 I attended my first swim meet. I was very hesitant when signing up because I get anxiety attacks about major events such as: swim meets, presentations, and big tests. Tired of my coach hearing my coach say, “Sign up or I will make you do burpees”, I finally

The promise of a warm soothing summer becomes irresistible after enduring endless winter nights of the northern latitudes. The seductive allure of radiant heat of the sun on the naked body, warmed by the sunbaked sand and sound of waves splashing on the beach becomes too great even for someone hailing from the oven baked Lahore. And then those risqué expectations On the Beach — It's one of those Hollywood cliché that needs no explanations, just imagine a cocktail full of unexpected delights, Sangria

in my town, where I loved to hang around with my friends in the weekend. I was a fourteen-years-old boy, and Joan was my girl companion. I would stare secretly at Joan, standing as a dolphin in the pool of rigging-water theme park. Then, Joan was diving from its springboard and butterflying her laps on the tracks, and she made the blue water splashing over us. You might think that I was so beguiled by her sensual beauty that I would jump into the cool pool. But, sadly, I was convinced that the water

At its monthly board meeting, the Palo Verde Irrigation District unanimously voted to donate $5,000 to the Blythe Police Activities Leagues, on Tuesday, June 20, to help keep children out of the canals, and into the pool. With summer officially starting two weeks ago, some may think cooling off in the canals is a good idea, but the board of trustees, as well as the employees of PVID beg to differ. Staffed with a board of seven trustees, General Manager Ned Hyduke said the reason why they decided

Swimming has been a passion of mine since age four. The adrenaline and the screaming of the fans in a race made me love the sport even more. In the thirteen years that I have been swimming, I never gave up my passion or drive to swim. Even from the countless times I thought of quitting because it became too tough, I persevered and just kept on swimming.

fill your scuba tanks up with air. Also, before every dive you make they check to see if they have your card. Last you can rent other diving equipment. Without this card I could not go scuba diving anywhere. Although this card might not seem very important, to me it represents memories and hard work.
