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 heart rate with differrent strokes?
Swim all 4 50Y and compare which one raises the heart rate more.
Or swim 100,500,1000 and take the heart rate after each,compare.
My son had considered this one for his project....
How much does the kick contribute to each stroke?
Swim 1,2,3 or all 4 strokes with your feet immobile(tie 'em together) and time.
Repeat, this time using your stroke plus kick.
It helps that you are volunteering as a test subject since you can make sure the data taken is acurate.
