Chicago Youth Swim Analysis

In The Swimmer a short story by John Cheever a man named Neddy Merrill decides to swim across every pool in the county naming his route the Lucinda River after his wife. As he goes on this journey some of his neighbors are nice, some show pity, and others show distaste for him. Throughout the story Cheever gives subtle hints that Neddy is disoriented as he doesn’t remember key details of things that have happened to his friends in the area. At the end of the story a disoriented Neddy reaches his home to find it empty, with his family gone. Cheever uses this short story to critique the way of life in the upper class suburbs of America that contributed to the social demise of Neddy Merrill

I teach kids of all ages how to swim. It’s something that I really enjoy doing, and seeing the children progress so much is so rewarding. It’s an amazing feeling when kids who, two weeks ago were too scared to let go of the wall, swim across the entire pool on their own, and you know that you helped them achieve that.

I have also volunteered at youth lacrosse clinic for the past 3 summers. It’s for middle school girls who have never played before. I teach them the basics for the game. It is wonderful to be able to witness their skills developing and improving at every practice. I also love the fact that we are expanding the sport in our community. It’s really fun to play a key role in that experience.

In the article “Swimming for Her Life,” by Kristen Lewis, it describes the life of Yusra Mardini. When Yursa was 13 the civil war started. Yusra fled in 2015 when she was 18. Yusra faces many challenges. She faces being a refugee, crossing the Aegean sea and being smuggled into Germany and Greece. When the Civil war started it caused Yusra and Sarah to become refugees and get smuggled into Greece and Germany. They also were crossing the aegean sea when the mortar to their boat stopped and it started to fill with water. Yusra and sarah both hopped out of their boat and and swam for 3.5 hours saving 18 souls. Once Yusra made it to Germany she met a man named Sven Spannekerbs. She swam for him and he immediately recognized her talent for swimming.

Since I was five years old I would always give my community a help hand, whether in beautifying my community by planting flowers, or by volunteering at local places. From the ages from five to ten my after school program would go around the neighborhood to plant flowers. In my town library I donated my time to help the children with hands-on activities to promote original ideas such as creating objects with everyday items. I have also volunteered a total of 36 hours for the American Cancer Society.

The day I went in for volunteering, I was positioned as a phone attendant answering phone calls to anyone who had questions about YMCA, I was given a packet of information to be able to answer those questions. I answered my first call and was able to successfully help the person with their question but I did not enjoy this position as much because it felt more like work than volunteering. After

This job also gives me a chance to impact the lives of the campers I am working with. I am doing this by helping them have the experiences and memories every child deserves. They are learning social behaviors and how to interact and build relationships. This camp gives these kids a sense of normalcy and fun. I have built relationships with children who had started off not liking me but by the end of a week of camp they are comfortable and have fun with me. They know they will always have a place at Camp Munroe and I love being a part of that experience for

I have been in the State College Area High School Marching Band for the past four years. I play the tenor saxophone and I am a mentor to the younger band players by providing help with marching skills. I am a lifeguard and a swim instructor for the State College YMCA. I started to work at the YMCA about a year ago. I am certified in CPR and first aid. While lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons, I have improved on my communication skills and observation skills. Working as a lifeguard, I have to communicate with other lifeguards in order to prevent drownings. As a swim instructor, I also have learned to communicate well with kids and their parents during lessons. I have also volunteered at Juniper Village at Brookline, since February 2015. I have over 250 hours of volunteering at Juniper Village.

The documentary “Swimming South” premiered on 29 January 2017, would have sent a shock through many of the viewers of channel 9’s weekly 60 minutes program. As it describes a threat that could cost the Australian tourism industry billions, the Irukandji jellyfish. The documentary makes the jellyfish out to be an alien type creature, doing well to capture the viewers’ attention on the matter, specifically showing examples of the deadliness of the jellyfish to provide fear in the minds of people.

There are many things you need to watch out for during the Summer. At the beach, rip currents are dangerous because they pull you far away from the shore and keep you there. There is also a lot of bacteria in the water that can be deadly. "The best place to swim is in a chlorinated pool," says Dennis Maki. Shark attacks are fatal but very rare. There is only a 1 in 11.5 million chance of being attacked by a shark. There are many ways to prevent being attacked by a shark such as not swimming while bleeding.

Everyone remembers the ones who had a hand in raising them. We fondly remember the aunties who brought the best fireworks that 34 dollars could buy from a fireworks superstore/gas station. We could never forget the great uncles who were unbeatable in bowling, yet somehow shot gutter balls for you. We would not dare to forget our parent’s friends who were always present for a trip to the amusement park. All those who have left a mark on us, we remember. Except we often neglect to acknowledge one of our most frequent and favored influences. In America, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who did not grow up watching TV. We all have been raised by the TV, but the implications of its influence vary greatly. I was lucky enough to have a lenient mother who did not censor what I could watch; not that my mom had much of a choice on what I

She also shows that she is thinkative. She shows that she has this trait when she pieces together the clues from the book. She also shows this when she starts training to swim in the pool, she comes up with different ideas to get stronger like wearing chain mail while swimming. Later on while packing for her return trip to the past, she considers the pull of the bow and brings extra strings to use, but not just one, but 3 in case one doesn’t fit. She also brings rope and other things she may need, like a head lamp and a water proof back

Watching the screen, many children and adults are glued to the swimmers that race each other in the Olympics. The swimmers are young and strong, but many do not know who these swimmers are. Adding on to what they do not know contains the history of swimming in the glorified Olympics. The backstory of this sporting event shows the progression and improvement of swimming because swimming evolved through the Olympics. This includes the beginning, improvement, and modern Olympic swimming sport.

During the summer I work at a summer camp. I am Head Lifeguard, Head Counselor and Director of Sports. It is a fairly large camp with, on average, 140 campers a year. Ages in the camp range from 5-12 years old. Sometimes we have problems with the kids but most of

Pereira, Ruschel, Hubert, Machado, Roesler, Fernandes, Vilas-Boas recently investigated the kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic characteristics of four front crawl (or freestyle) flip turn technique variants. Previous research has suggested that optimizing the turn technique can mean the difference of 0.20s per lap in a swimming event (Maglischo, 2003). Two-tenths of a second is often the difference between first and second place in the Olympics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe and compare four variants or styles most commonly used by top-level swimmers: (1) dorsal rolling, lateral touch in the wall, pushing with rotation and ventral gliding; (2) dorsal rolling, dorsal touch in the wall, pushing with rotation and ventral gliding; (3) dorsal rolling, lateral touch in the wall, pushing in a lateral position and lateral gliding; and (4) lateral rolling, lateral touch in the wall, pushing with rotation and ventral gliding.
