It's the vertical protrusion that makes SwimFin so unique, innovative and beneficial as far as swimming aids go! This patented design offers as much or as little buoyancy as and when required, without having to inflate, deflate, add or remove additional support. Allowing natural, unrestricted movement in the water. The fun shape and colours appeal to children of all ages and abilities and enhances a desire to explore the water in a creative and safe manner. Incorporating the psychological and scientific principles applied when leaning to swim, the profile design has many other benefits for further stroke development and improvement. A truly multi functional piece of teaching apparatus with a 'proven' track record when it comes to teaching children (and adults) to be safer in the water in a fraction of the time.

I love the Olympics. When I was a kid, I dreamed of swimming in the Women's 100 Butterfly event. Swimming is my one sport where I thrived as a kid :) I love the power of a stroke as you move through the water and working to beat your best time. Swimming is both individual and team sport together. Sports has also been the center of much of our work Dottie Rose Foundation and the dot. Consulting with computer science and data analytics. (Stay posted from some fun announcements coming soon around sports) So, when I saw the following article, I was grinning from ear to ear. It shows the true integration of sports, computer science, and STEM. A quick recap of the article: The University of Virginia is pushing the boundaries of athletic performance with innovative research led by renowned math professor Ken Ono. Using advanced acceleration measurement devices, the UVA team is diving deep into the mechanics of swimming to unlock new levels of speed and efficiency for their athletes. This cutting-edge approach not only revolutionizes training methods but also exemplifies the incredible synergy between technology and sports. By harnessing data and scientific analysis, our swimmers are setting new standards and redefining what's possible in the pool. Kudos to UVA for spearheading such transformative work! The future of sports is here, and it's driven by innovation and technology. 🌟 #TechInSports #Innovation #Swimming #UVA #AthleticExcellence #STEM

How to encourage your child to swim from an early age❓ Playing in warm water 🌊 encourages children to be physically active from an early age. Although infant swimming 🏊♂️ is not intended to raise future sports champions 🏅, it plays an important role in movement education. It is not specialized water gymnastics, but a way to support perception and movement in the water. Swimming in infancy is an important element of early movement education and harmonious upbringing 👶. It is the foundation for all later stages of a child's development. Renate Zimmer, a specialist in movement education, highlights several key goals of such education: ✨Satisfying children's natural need for movement 🤸♂️ ✨They give children the opportunity to better understand their own bodies and personalities 🧠 ✨Encouraging interaction with the surrounding space and materials 🌍 ✨Developing and improving motor skills 💪 ✨An important aspect of a child's all-round development. ✨Developing and improving motor skills and abilities ✨Enabling children of different skill levels to play together ✨Providing opportunities for holistic, physical and sensory learning of the world ✨Contributing to maintaining the joy of movement, curiosity and readiness for activity ✨Building confidence in one's own motor skills and enabling realistic self-assessment 📣We're excited to announce our expansion into new markets and are looking for passionate distributors and retailers to join us on this journey. If you're in the swimming industry and want to offer a product that combines safety, quality, and fun, let's connect! Let's make swimming safer and more enjoyable for children around the world! 🤝 🔹Trusted by European families for over 25 years, KraulQuappen are now making waves worldwide! 📍Safety First: TÜV SÜD certified and compliant with EU standards.

Have you ever heard of Surf Lakes? These are man-made lakes that are able to simulate real waves and allow people to surf even where they may not have access to the ocean or large enough swells to surf. As someone who loves both surfing and unique application of hydraulic design this company have been on my radar for some time. But before I share the link to how their technology works and the amount of work they've put in to make this happen I want you to think about where YOU would start with this design project. Remember, this was something completely brand new when they started back in 2013 with the idea and they've come a long way in the last 10 years. Do you have a process in place already that could help you take an idea and turn it into a full-scale working model? If not then it might be the right time to consider joining the KAPEC Introduction to Fluid Power Design program. Not for beginners this course doesn't teach you the hydraulic skills but rather hones your process to give you the confidence you need to tackle any project. And now for those of you who are curious here's the answer behind how it works: https://lnkd.in/gDbf48C2. And the process Surf Lakes took to get there: https://lnkd.in/gvQRuSxH.. #SurfLake #SystemDesign #HydraulicSystems #Coaching #Mentorship

📢 Research Study Opportunity 📢 🏊♂️How does Swimming compare to Education for Low Back Pain?
