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?

    How about a streamlining experiment. Have your subject push off the wall with hands at thier side and measure distance. Next have subject push off with hands like superman, measure distance. Lastly have subject in full streamline. The differences are significant. Time flag to flag using an open turn vs. filp turn. Measure verticle jump and relate to distance covered off wall in push off. Time wetsuit vs. non-wetsuit.
