3 Things I Know about Fast Swim Pools

beijing.pool.cube.JPG
Have you ever heard the funny phrase, “fast pool”? Did you say “What do you mean the swimming pool is fast? Swimming pools don’t move…” 

Well, it just simply means the swimming pool will allow you to swim faster than other pools. Different pools, each one of them have something unique. But there are a lot of things that ican make the pool “faster”. There are rankings of which pool is faster than others based on science and statistics.

Let me tell you what I knowWell let talk little bit about it.

There are three types of drags in swimming that slows us down; Wave drag (waves on top of the surface or under), viscous fluid drag (water viscosity) and frictional drag (skin). Engineering a good pool can prevent some of these. 

1.       Wave drag – the water needs to be calm as possible to swim fast.

·         Deep water – swimming pool needs to be deep. When it is deep, it is less likely to make waves by humans in the water. It takes more time for the water to bounce back from the bottom when you move along. Your tub is easier to makes waves in, right?

·         Wider lane – when lanes are bigger, it is harder for the waves created by the person next to you to come in.

·         Lane rope size – when it’s big, waves crash in to it and do not invade other lanes. There is something called wave eating lanes (stops waves when it hits it).

2.       Viscous fluid drag

·         The quality of the water is very important. There is a lot of chemistry involved.

·         Temperature of the water is also important. It is not important in regards to drag but for cooling your body down or heating it up. Physiologists have proven that too warm or cold will cause humans to expend energy to keep optimum human body temperature. So there is optimum temperature for the water. 

3.       Frictional drag

·         There are new cool swim suits that are engineered to be fast. This is a big topic and I will talk about it later.

Color and mood, or history of the pool can also have an effect mentally on swimmers also. The pool in Beijing, known as the Water Cube is going to be great.

Recycled Condoms Used in Chinese-Made Hair Bands

hairband1.jpg

step one 
 
And to think we were worried about lead in toys, or cardboard in the dumplings.

 

Snopes says it's true that awoman in China found her hair band unraveling, so she cut the thread off it only to find recycled condoms inside! Unused, thank goodness.

hairband2.jpg

step two 

 

"...a small part came loose when I used the bands to tie my hair up one morning. It looked strange to me because of its different color - not the yellow color we normally see in plastic bands. I peeled deeper and found something that looked like a condom."

Thanks goodness she didn't find something yellow-colored you normally see in a used condom, eh? Gosh, I am sorry I know that. Just think, had the things been used before what the possibility of spreading STDs might be.

step three 

 

It is sincerely hoped (for lack of a better word in such circumstances) that the prophylactics had failed to meet quality control standards at the manufacturing plant. Hopefully the rubbers weren't found lacking in other QC tests. Or is that another reason why Chinese have so many people?

step four 

 

So, China. What about this quality control thing? What other things might we should be looking into to see what's inside? I'm afraid to know.
