Start depth modification by adolescent competitive swimmers [PDF]
To expand upon previous studies showing inexperienced high school swimmers can complete significantly shallower racing starts when asked to start “shallow,” 42 age group swimmers (6-14 years old) were filmed underwater during completion of competitive ...

A previously healthy 38-year-old triathlete prepared for a swim in a cold (15°C) lake by drinking 1/2 L of a protein supplement and putting on a wetsuit. After swimming approximately 500 m, she developed dyspnea. She stopped momentarily and then continued on, but developed further dyspnea associated with chest constriction and wheezing.

Two-dimensional flagellar synchronization in viscoelastic fluids [PDF]
Experimental studies have demonstrated that spermatozoa synchronize their flagella when swimming in close proximity. In a Newtonian fluid, it was shown theoretically that such synchronization arises passively due to hydrodynamic forces between the two ...

Water depth influences the head depth of competitive racing starts [PDF]
Recent research suggests that swimmers perform deeper starts in deeper water (Blitvich, McElroy, Blanksby, Clothier, & Pearson, 2000; Cornett, White, Wright, Willmott, & Stager, 2011).

Optimal Strokes for Driftless Swimmers: A General Geometric Approach [PDF]
Swimming consists by definition in propelling through a fluid by means of bodily movements. Thus, from a mathematical point of view, swimming turns into a control problem for which the controls are the deformations of the swimmer.
