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. :)
the secret would be to jump and get out of the water beyond your knees then pull them up and get them under you
I've incorporated jumping into my leg workouts, where I'll jump from a squatting position onto a platform. So far the highest I've been able to get is 44", and that's without water resistance. Still a far cry from jumping out of 4' of water and landing on your feet.
I wonder if a powerlifter might be able to come close. Some of those guys have monster verticals, even with the weight they carry.
