Swimming Science

Swimming World has always focused on the physiological changes the body to improve performance. Not only you could see how the body changes swimmer (squares stomach as a result of the thousands of sit-ups), but a whole decade of research focused mainly on how sports different types of training helps muscles utilize energy, clear debris, etc.. It made swimmers to concentrate formulas Various anaerobic aerobic training almost religious.

Brain and swimming

Substantial amount of extensive physiological studies, led to neglect of the brain’s role in swimming. Although trained swimmers mentioned terms such as’ muscle memory, mental endurance, etc., the true role remains a mystery. Books and articles dealt in detail the role of muscles and heart – lung but did not mention the brain.

But over the past 10 years, knowledge in the brain significantly increased. Technological developments have helped scientists track molecules, brain cells in different brain systems and thus learn how different processes affect human behavior. Cognitive scientists have used on MRI to die in the brain during thinking, problem solving and emotional responses.

As a result of technological progress, which was, until recently, mystery, pick became measurable. In fact, knowledge of how life can help the growth of brain cells, has become even clearer

As a result we now know that what has long been considered impenetrable and abstract is material and measurable. In Fact, how, swimming Can Grow brain cells is now understood to be Far more Significant Than how, it Grows Muscles and Blood Vessels. But not just any kind of swimming. To change muscles and blood vessels, almost any kind of activity will do, so long as you work long and hard enough. To change brain structure and function, deep practice is Essential.

Wave height and direction

You can check the forecast wave heights at several sites. Each site to bring here is good enough in itself to get a good indication. If you’re really addicted, equal through all of them to get a better indicator.

The Israel Oceanographic and Limnological

1. Click here.

2. On the right side, near the Mediterranean Sea have words Arrow. Clicking the arrow opens a menu (Drop Down) with two options. Select the option of Levantine Basin.

3. On the right side you can choose whether to watch the wind or wave direction (better to check the two variables)

4. On the right side, second box down, select the day and time (note, time is on GMT and should add a couple of hours in winter and three hours in the summer to get the time of Israel).

5. Picture that can estimate the height of sea waves by color and check off the coast of Israel and the color scale the estimated height (25 cm increments).

6. To receive more detailed information, stood with the mouse on the point along the Israeli coast. Knocked a mouse, a red spot appears on a percussion detailed menu appears on the right side of the page. Where you can check the exact height of the waves, their direction and frequency as well as the wind speed and direction for a specified date all selected.

7. The picture you can see arrows showing the direction of the waves and affect the course of coastal streams.

8. One can get the forecast several days ahead the form of animation – click on the Animate option under the time and date.

Studies swimming pool experience at sea, more simple and flowing, most of the year in which the sea state allows it …
Qualified swimming instructor very man who loves the sea I want to tell and to recommend you for a special swimming teaching experience:

Sea swimming pool studies.

As entertainment at sea is a favorite part of everyday culture, there are many advantages to learn swimming in the sea:

Sea salt concentration helps us expected, allowing us to better learning of the movement, not coated or unnecessary extras.

Many of us have a problem with the salinity of sea water seems to us, Schildim or even as adults. Do not want to learn to swim in the sea, because we can not stand the “taste” the water, and there learning pool “swallow” a lot of water.

The opposite is true.

After all, most of us learned to swim with the help of the “Guide” not a professional. Our Father or the lifeguard at the pool ..

When children or adults, learning swimming in the sea with a guide, there is no chance that they “swallow” water, because the student is asked to perform any part of the movement separately and only then connect them to an entire movement.

Pool becomes an experience, almost meditative, an exception. The eyes may be closed, traffic monotonous, occurs as a kind of meditation in motion dance in the water.

This happens when movements are learned embedded, and the body knows to make them intuitively natural.

Learn swimming in the sea there are also health benefits:

If Have you ever noticed, anyone who works and is much in the pool, almost no hair and the legs. It’s not because their minds swimmers.

Water pool filled with chlorine and materials that “screws” We dry the hair and skin.

Closed pools also do not touch the experience of wind in the face wet.

Of course, the learning process can start in the pool (with coated or utilities required). And then crossing the sea is a natural body and soul …

So … Why not learn to swim in the sea?
