 Posted: 01/14/03 - 10:31 Post subject: Stupid Question Amnesty
Here's your chance to ask a dumb question that you don't know that answer to but have always been afraid to ask for fear of sounding stupid (soundastupidphobia - for those that are keeping score).
Go ahead and ask a dumb question and we'll do our best to come up with a correct answer so you can go back out into the world a better person!

Ok. This one is for the swimmers:
What's the best swimming form? I can swim to survive, but I want to swim for sport, now. I'm not fast, but I could use a pointer or two.
Silly question, and I've always been scared to ask....

Freestyle - Pretend that someone is pressing you into the water with their hand between your shoulder blades. This will help your legs to come up more in line with the rest of your body and create less drag.

Because just like me, they long to be close to you.

Stupid question #2: (I'm overdrawing my account, I know)
How do I hold my head while I swim? Is it to the side or is it in the water and come up for breath when I need it?
Thanks!

That song will always remind me of Rick Moranis singing to his wife in "Parenthood".
my question, "Who here likes pizza?"

He meant I am still on the clock. These answers don't come cheap, and I am milking it for all it's worth. Okay. Your turn.

Keep your face pointed towards the bottom of the pool and slightly forward until you need a breath and then try to roll your body more so you don't have to turn your head as much.
