One of the things I have come to find most useful at this site has been the links posted by many of the participants. I thought it might be helpful for a lot of us if everyone could post one or two of their favorite swimming related links here for us to add to our favorites, and sort of build our own reference library. Please Post!
Connie, and other webmasters, check out the many graphics available at the last link I posted. Even animated ones. All available for use. You can even click on them to have them automatically become your wallpaper, etc.. There are seasonal ones also. I think you will like the site.
Hey Art Shark,
Very neat stuff.
Thanks for sharing!
I'll have a closer look at it all when i get home. I can get carried away staring at graphic stuff all day long, and not get any work done. :rolleyes:
I'll probably take you up on the offer and use some graphics.
I have some graphics in development myself, when I get them up and running, I'll share some with you, if you'd like. :)

I really have to thank the Shark Man for starting this thread and Jean Sterling for her link.
I was in Charlottesville VA a couple days ago. A few days before going, I got on the swimmer's guide site and located a pool at a middle school, got the times, phone numbers etc., called, got the rate for seniors..
The pool was warm, about 83-84 degrees. I asked why and was told that some seniors (more senior than me) were coming in next for water exercise. When I went to the locker room, I got a couple seniors excited when I told them I "found this pool on the internet."
The pool by the way, was a first for me. Having been built a number of years ago for youngsters, the shallow end was 3 feet deep. A lady swimming next to me was flip turning in the shallow end. When we both stopped, I told her how brave she was to do that and commented that I had been "scaping bottom" on a few open turns.
Anyway, I really commend this site to traveling swimmers.

This photographer and swimmer has some really cool underwater photographs. Too bad I can't read Finnish to really explore the rest of his site....
Thanks for the link's everyone. I am gaining a ton of information from checking out the sites. Entertainment also. It is so cool to have an international flavor to this thread. Swimming is a Universal Language for sure. Keep the postings coming. I believe a lot of people are checking the links out and saving the ones that work for them. Thanks again.
Garreth, thanks for the Lumen Master Muscle Link. It is an awesome reference site. I have been sharing it with the running community here in WNY, and they have found it very useful. Listing of every single muscle in the body, and what they do. Makes my top 10!
