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. :)

Ask a water-polo goalie....................
Even the best of them would probably not be able to do it, even though
some of them can "tread" water, with the water level at suit waistline height for over 30" (that's seconds, not inches).
As a teenager swimming in Egypt, I heard of one ---from old-timers--- who could do it for almost a full minute. He was killed in a plane crash with the whole team sometime before WWII (if memory serves).
