Hey all girls that are competing here is a really good tip! So put your goggles on before your swim cap that way when you dive in there is LESS chances of your goggles falling off!

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the swim team or the advice club, so I'm putting it in both. Anyway, here it is:
I really like to swim. I take lessons, but the thing is, I'm getting a little too old and a little too good for lessons. I'm in Level 4! I want to join a team, but I feel like I'm doing too many things. I already do dance, soccer, and softball. Please help!

actress616: ok, here is a few tips: 2 stay afloat, just kick your legs and push your arms dowsand to the sides. this is treading water. there are 4 strokes: Freeystyle, wich is when you kick your legs and move your arms, well, its hard 2 explain! in breaststroak, you look like a frog and you lunge yor arms out and far apart and then push them in twords your chest and put your hand 2gether. Well, thats alll i say right now! Hope i helped!

I used to be on a swim team and I learned that swimming your hardest counts the most, even if you don't win. I think that swimming is a great sport for anyone because that is a life skill plus if you're on a swim team, it is a team sport!!

oh yeah, sorry if I sounded mean on my last post about people who can't swim. I was just trying to say that swimming is cool and that everyone should at least try it. (Did that sound stupid?)

I luv the water and swimming soooo much, but I don't think I could ever do it competitively, because the chlorine always makes my nose get really stuffy! smilies/tongue.gif
But, I'm pretty good at swimming, and I love going to lakes and oceans!

I still don't know how to swim. I have a fear of the water. I've also had some bad experiences in the water. Once, when I was a little girl I had one of those floater's around my waist and was trying to go toward my mom and I kicked too hard and my head went underwater and my legs went up in the air. I kicked so hard that it was like I did a spin in the water. Also my cousin always grabs my waist and dunks me underwater.
