My daughter has a science project to do and I've been designated assistant. Anyone have any good/fun ideas that could be done involving swimming. If I can incorporate me swimming into a science project, I will get double mileage out of time I will spend swimming anyhow. Anyone have any thoughts?
Ten is fourth grade these days?
Are they expected to present a hypothesis, or is it merely descriptive (such as which mammals swim faster and which swim slower)?
Perhaps the actual conduct of the trial doesn't have to be filmed, although a photo of critical elements -- swimmer diving into water, somebody holding a stopwatch -- might add color.
If this is a one-subject, one-trial experiment, maybe physiological adaptations during a long swim: heart rate and respiratory rate at different parts of the swim.
What does Mini-stud have an interest in? I think river otters are cool.

Mini-stud is 10.
It has to be presented at the science fair...so I guess if it's in the water it could be filmed. I am sure my daughter will love the prospect of presenting her father in a Speedo to the school...serious negative cool points...
