  1. #today, endless meetings interrupted only by other meetings. But I get to go #swimming with the boys later and probably will get a bike ride in, so that'll be a nice relief.

  4. 🐢🤖 Using bio-inspired #design, a teenage researcher developed a waterproof #robot that mimics the #swimming mechanics of a sea #turtle.

    The autonomous vehicle carries sensors to track #water temperature and acidity, providing a low-cost tool for marine conservationists studying reef health.

  17. "400 swimmers compete in Lake Argyle Swim despite crocodile bite a day earlier"

    ""They actually saw freshies last year when they were swimming at the event.

    "It maybe gave them a bit of motivation to swim faster.""

  22. I still triggered my "out, now!" reflex a couple of times, especially when trying to go a bit deeper, and staying vertical. Gonna try practicing this every time I go swim!

    Also – turns out holding my breath, closing my eyes, pinching my nose with one hand, and then diving is not a problem at all. My fear seems to be specifically about water entering my nose.

    How did y'all learn how to do this?! :D

  27. But today, I had a good experience: I got in a small, warm pool and started practicing this. Carefully lowering my nose under water, while blowing bubbles from it.

    It was very uncomfortable at first, but after a few attempts, I noticed how I could stay in that submerged position a bit longer than before!

    So I realized that I probably *will* be able to learn this!! And that makes me super happy! :') It will be so cool once I can dive a bit!

  32. All my life, I've been scared to put my face in the water. Swimming longer distances with my face above the water was not the problem, neither deep pools or lakes.

    But not being able to breathe, having water in my face, makes me panic. I have to swallow, and have to get up! I have some bad memories from swimming classes where I felt ashamed that I couldn't "keep up" with everyone else. :/

    So learning front crawl or "proper" breast stroke seemed out of the question.
