We believe that the with these online voice lessons student themselves can become their own voice teacher. The act of singing has been estimated to be around 98% psychological.

The Physics of Swimming

2007-05-19T07:55:00.000-07:00

Sport Science and medicine plays a very important part in the performance of a swimmer. Science can help fine tune the athlete, as in the end even a few hundredths of a second often decide the result of races. Sports Biomechanics is the application of physics and mechanics to the human body during sport. In such a technical sport such as swimming, it plays a very important part. Humans aren't the best swimmers; we can swim at 5 mph compared to a sailfish which can move through the water at 65 mph.

Electrolyte Replacement

2007-03-27T13:00:00.001-07:00

Enlyten™ Electrolyte SportStrips™ is an innovative new product that replaces the electrolytes our bodies lose while exercising. Fluids consumed during exercise typically contain both carbohydrates and electrolytes. The amount of each varies by product. Typically these drinks have between 2 and 8 percent carbohydrate with a large range of electrolyte concentrations within them. A major limitation associated with re-hydration and electrolyte repletion is absorption. During exercise our bodies divert blood from our stomach and intestines to our exercising muscles. This leads to an increased gastric emptying time and altered intestinal absorption. Additionally, the addition of carbohydrate to these drinks can alter an athlete’s digestive ability. Slowed gastric emptying combined with altered absorption will limit the availability of the fluid and electrolytes we orally consume to be used by our bodies. Many athletes performing at high intensities will have a difficult time ingesting an adequate amount of fluid to maintain this homeostasis due to these changes. How exactly performance is adversely affected needs further research, but it is clear that current electrolyte delivery methods have major limitations.Enlyten Sport Strips are absorbed very differently. They are designed to bypass the inherent inadequacies of gastric and intestinal absorption during exercise. SportStrips are absorbed directly into the blood stream through the buccal mucosa (in the mouth) and thus is affected by neither gastric emptying nor colonic irritability.

Australia's Madam Butterfly Susie O'Neill will take centre stage at the 12th FINA World Championships, as Victorian Premier Steve Bracks ended weeks of speculation about who the championship pool at Rod Laver Arena would be named after.

Six days from the start of competition, Mr Bracks announced Ms O?Neill had beaten a top-line field of contenders for the honour, including swimming superstars Ian Thorpe, Kieren Perkins, Samantha Riley, Tracey Wickham and Petria Thomas.

"This is the first time in the history of the FINA World Championships that the main competition pool has been named after a sporting great," Mr Bracks said.

Nick Driebergen sets Dutch Record during Amsterdam Swim Cup

2007-02-09T11:56:00.000-08:00

AMSTERDAM - The fifth edition of the Amsterdam Swim Cup on 14 ? 16 April 2006 was highlighted by the National Record of Nick Driebergen at the 50m backstroke. His 25.95 was one of six pool records set during the meet in the Sloterparkbad in Amsterdam, that served as one of the two Dutch qualifying meets for the European Championships.
Driebergen also bettered the pool record in the 100m backstroke with 56.33, making him the premier backstroker for the Dutch squad for the Europeans in Budapest this summer. Spanish swimmers Marco Rivera (8.04.61) and Arantxa Ramos (8.47.46) set records in the 800m freestyle, while Panagiotis Glykos from Greece broke the 1500m (15.37.18). Hinkelien Schreuder qualified for Budapest setting a record in the 200m IM (2.17.11).

Infection Confines David Davies To Dry Land

2007-02-09T11:54:00.000-08:00

David Davies, Olympic bronze medal winner over 1,500m freestyle and Commonwealth champion in Melbourne in March this year, will be out of the water for the next month after a foot infection required surgery. Doctors treating the 21-year-old, who is coached by Dave Haller in Cardiff, believe that the infection has been dormant for some weeks. Heavy training left Davies vulnerable to illness. The Welshman is in the midst of preparations for the European Championships in Budapest from July 16 but is optimistic that his time out of water will not affect his long-term prospects."

World Cup Gets Some Changes

2007-01-23T14:31:00.001-08:00

DURBAN, South Africa, January 23. THE FINA World Cup will have a tweaked look when it returns to the schedule in October. Not only will the top point-scorers of the series receive $100,000 after the seven-meet slate concludes, the point formula has been adjusted to reward world-record swims with an additional 20 points and for the top 10 swims to be rated in order for the awarding of points. Any world records that are tied will be rewarded with 10 points and the second-place finishers in the standings among the men and women will receive $50,000. Third-place finishers will get $30,000 and individuals breaking world records will share in a $50,000 prize pool. With a major gap between the World Champs in March and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the World Cup could attract big-time fields. Here are the dates of the seven meets: Durban, South Africa (Oct. 20-21); Singapore (Oct. 27-28); Sydney (Nov. 2-3); Moscow (Nov. 9-10); Stockholm (Nov. 13-14); Berlin (Nov. 17-18); Belo Horizonte, Brazil (Nov. 23-25).

Clarion University Creates Women's Swimming Scholarship

2007-01-12T16:30:00.000-08:00

CLARION, Pennsylvania, January 12. THE Dr. Rebecca Rutt Leas Women's Swimming Scholarship has been created at Clarion University by former swimming coach Dr. Rebecca Leas and Milissa (Steiner) Bauer a former Clarion University swimmer and a 1984 Clarion University graduate. Leas was the head women's swimming coach from 1979-1987, leading Clarion to six Division II national team titles and a second and a third place finish. Her teams were undefeated in PSAC dual meets and won every PSAC championship for eight straight years. Clarion defeated many Division 1 schools and also competed at the Division 1 national championships 1982-86 and the 1984 United States Olympic Trials. During Dr. Leas' tenure, the women also excelled in the classroom. This newly-created swimming scholarship will be awarded to a woman who demonstrates this continued spirit of excellence both in the water and in the classroom. "For years, I have wanted to partner with Becky to start a scholarship in her honor," said Bauer. "With her upcoming retirement from Clarion University in June of 2007, I believe the time is right to set up the fund." Bauer is also spearheading an appeal to Clarion University alumni and friends to ensure the fund will be a significant scholarship for a Clarion University swimmer. "I firmly believe Coach Leas was the key to the team's successes in the pool and many of our achievements once we graduated from Clarion University," she said. The goal for the scholarship is to reach $50,000 in the first year, with commitments to reach over $100,000 in the following three years.

Swim News Year in Review

2007-01-04T09:34:00.000-08:00

As the festive season and New Year celebrations bring to a close another fine year of action in the pool, here is an aquatic countdown for the 12 Days of Christmas looking back at what was good and bad about 2006 and what we might take from it all. Before anyone gets too excited, the rules are very simple: no prizes will be given, there will be no weighty thoughts from worldwide panels of experts, the views expressed are entirely my own and the exercise is entirely open to as much scutiny, cursing and disagreement as you wish. Oh, and any deemed ommissions are neither intentional nor designed to be taken personally.
