  2.  @pikachu6031  I have never claimed otherwise. However your suggestion of kids below 16 (as young as 10) using trains or buses to get to swimming practice 30 miles away at 05:00 in the morning is delusional. But you be you.

  4. Purely anecdotal but I know a teacher who was teaching kids to swim and he had one who said he had negative buoyancy and proceeded to prove it by sinking.

  5.  @kenrehill8775  yes you’re right 🤣 I should have said ‘alternatively buoyant’

  6. There is evidence that suggests some ethnic groups are more buoyant than others. This is likely to make floating easier, but whether this translates to a difference in swimming speed is unknown. Yet more proof of their oppression 🤣

  7. If FINA allow swim caps that don’t conform to skull shape, then they leave themselves wide open to swimmers wearing specially padded caps that extend out to produce a more streamlined profile.
