         <description><![CDATA[Both toes forward on the start (swimming grab start), may get swimmers off the starting block a little quicker. One foot forward, one foot back, (track-style start), may get swimmers off of the block a little slower, but the swimmer might get further in the air. The end result seems to be that both starting techniques for swimmers work well. It comes down to individual strengths, flexibility, confidence, and what is done immediately after entering the swimming pool that make the difference.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Swimming pools used to be a 20-foot x 40-foot rectangle. They sloped from 3 - 5 feet and had a diving board at one end. In fact, every pool followed the same format found in virtually every YMCA. It was boring! Not that square isn&amp;#8217;t beautiful, but as Frank Lloyd Wright said, design and form should follow function. You shold consider this when designing your swimming pool. Maybe a water feature would make the difference.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[There are many ways to swim faster. Two of those ways are for a swimmer to increase swimming stroke rate (while maintaining the distance per stroke), and to increase the distance each swimming stroke takes them (while maintaining the same rate). How did de Bruijn, van den Hoogenband, Klim, Torres, and the rest swim so fast in the 2000 Olympics? How are swimmers continuing to get faster - and what will we see in Greece at the 2004 Olympics?]]></description>
