    “Surfers say that they’re safe if they stay six feet away from other people. But that would only be true if the air didn’t move,” notes Kimberly Prather, a climate and atmospheric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

    “In reality, there’s always a breeze or wind at the coastline. As a result, small drops of coronavirus float in the air and get blown around.”

    On March 24, 2020, the Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19

    Shortly thereafter, the Pac-12 conference suspended all athletic team activities until May 31, 2020.

    Those two things don’t really go together, but to Spokane resident Ryan Foote it does. He’s a swimmer who swam on club teams locally and went to Mead High School. As a swimmer, he qualified for the 2020 Olympic trials and currently swims at the University of Arizona.

    Paul Talty, Swim Ireland’s Associate Head of Performance Services (Physical), usually oversees land-based training for Ireland’s High Performance swimmers and divers, but today he’s got an everyday Upper Body Strength Workout for you.

    Push Up
    Horizontal Row
    Blackbird

    Do 10 reps of each exercise.
    Take 1min rest before starting the next set.
    Do four sets.

     

  • Shooting Underwater With an iPhone 11 Pro Max?

    In this video we look at how we used an iPhone 11 Pro Max to shoot underwater shots for a short film. BUT we do NOT recommend doing this often. :) In a pinch it works great, but otherwise use a GoPro or any other waterproof action style camera.
