I came to this forum because I know you guys swim a lot and you would be the best people to ask.
Okay, so I was watching the movie Waterworld. There is a part where Kevin Kostner swims through the water and jumps 4 feet out of the water to land on a deck. So that part is impossible...however is a pool jump possible?
A pool jump would be classified as either swimming at the side (of the pool etc.) or from a direct tread boosting out of the water high enough to get your feet under you. Is this humanly possible? Im sure there is money in it for someone who can either do this or point me to where I can find a video/article of this.
Please help...as there is a bet involved. :)
sometimes at the end of a practice, I'll reverse streamline to the bottom of the pool, get in the squat position and push off towards the surface as quick and straight as i can, dolphin kicking. The highest I can ever get out is suit-level.
I'm with Ande, that humans were not made for this. Water provides too much resistance and we don't have the tools to make it happen.
