Swimmers - Freestyle stroke count per 25M

Answered by a doctor

I've just recently really started counting my strokes per lap while I'm swimming. Prior to that, I'd only count strokes maybe once a month or so and only for a few laps. Right now I'm hitting 18 strokes / 25M consistently. If I really, really work at it, I can get down to 13, but that's pretty...

Does chlorine damage your hair?

Answered by a doctor

I like to swim and am regular at the beach during the summer. I can’t accept the fact that I have to wait a whole year before I can swim again. So I have decided to go to the pool. I heard that pool water is full of chlorine and that is bad for my hair. Does chlorine damage your hair?

Am i alergic to chlorine?

Answered by a doctor

I’ve noticed that my eyes are irritated, my nose is itchy and I have similar allergic reactions after swimming. I think that is because I’m allergic to chlorine. I don’t know what to do, because it would be really disappointing if I’d have to quit swimming due to the allergic...

What is the best cadence to develop cycling endurance?

I have a dilemma. Do I gain the same benefits if I spin at little or no resistance at high speed, as I would get by spinning with resistance at a lower speed? I would like to know if those two workouts are the same. If not, what is the best cadence to develop cycling endurance?

Do i need to learn how to breathe to swim properly?

My coach keeps saying that I have to learn to breath properly. It is essential to master this in order to become a good swimmer. Otherwise, according to him I will never be able to get speed and endurance. Is he right? Is it really that important? Can I learn how to breath by swimming?
