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?

Measuring the heart rate and comparing times with and without a kick are great ideas.
If you do them (or any others) be sure to randomize over a period of time. Like if you compared heart rate on free vs. ***:
Day 1 you'd swim free then ***. Day 2 you'd swim *** then free. Etc.
If you always swam the same stroke in the first trial, then the heart rate for the second trial could be affected by the effort exerted in the first.
