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. :)

    What if you held one leg up with your knee to your chest, then jumped off of the one foot and got your foot thats already up onto the side, then step up onto the side. Would that count? Warren, love the creativity of thought that is going on there:rofl: but I can't see that working either. If you try that you will only have half the power (one leg) and a lot more resistance with the other leg curled up against your chest! Syd
