  • Freestyle Timing – A simpler way to think about freestyle timing

    The timing of the freestyle stroke is important. It will largely depend on what speed and distance the swimmer or triathlete is racing.

    In the end, there is no one technically perfect stroke to suit all swimmers and triathletes.

    It’s a matter of finding what works best for you as an individual and consistently practicing it in training at or near competition speeds.

  • This edible blob filled with water means you don’t need a plastic bottle

    Runners in a half-marathon in London on March 1 might be a little confused at the water stations, where instead of getting water in a plastic cup or bottle, they’ll be handed an edible water-filled pod. The package, which is also compostable, is made from seaweed and plant extracts. You simply bite the corner off and drink.

    “What we want to do is have a bulletproof solution—regardless of where it ends up, our packaging will not create negative consequences,” says Pierre-Yves Paslier, cofounder of Notpla, the startup that makes the packaging. “If nature can deal with it if it ends up in the wrong place, that’s the ultimate kind of protection.”

    Merrie-Woode’s swimming program adheres to the standards of the American Red Cross program. Swimming is a fundamental skill that we want all of our campers to master during their time at camp. We use classifications to determine campers’ swimming levels. Swimming evaluations are held on Opening Day of each session for every camper. Any camper who does not demonstrate proficiency through Red Cross Level 5 will be required to take Swimming as one of their scheduled camp activities.
