Why the Fantastic Grandmas Are Swimming With Sea Snakes
Some people take it easy when they retire. Others, like a group known as the Fantastic Grandmas, swim with venomous sea snakes off the coast of Lemon Bay, New Caledonia. The women collect data and take photos of the fascinating creatures for researchers at the University of Caledonia. The information has led to a much greater understanding of how sea snakes impact the local ecosystem. Up for an underwater adventure? Come along as we swim with the women in search of sea snakes in the South Pacific.

Bathing suit, Wetsuit, Buoyancy shorts | Which is fastest for swimming?
Better late than never I guess. I participated in this study at UNLV a couple months back. It’s no surprise that swimming in a wetsuit is much faster than without, but the study wanted to find out how much of a difference there was between each scenario. There was also a second part to the study that measured body temperature with and without a wetsuit on. The purpose of this study was to determine how good the body is at regulating its core temperature while swimming at max effort with a wetsuit on. The study is not yet complete and due to the fact that all schools are closed I am not sure when it will pick back up. I was debating whether or not to post this video since there are no finalized results of the study yet, but I thought it may be interesting to see my personal results and the process of being included in a university study.
