Laws
of Competitive Swimming
(Much
like Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of motion)
*Law
of Competitive Gravity*
When
left unattended, a swimmer will gravitate to the worst technique possible.
*Law
of Inertia*
A
swimmer at rest will tend to remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside
force.
A
swimmer in motion will tend to rest as soon as possible unless acted upon by an
outside force.
*Conservation
of Matter*
Matter
or Mass can neither be created nor destroyed, except by 11-18 year old females,
when
it can magically appear in the most inopportune places and quantities
imaginable.
*Opposition
Principle*
When
asked to kick rapidly, swimmers tend not to; when told not to kick, swimmers
tend to kick rapidly.
*Space,
Time Continuum*
When
swimming Breaststroke or Butterfly in practice, swimmers hands are attracted to
the turning wall,
each
hand at a different speed, at different times, at different points not in the
same plane.
*Laws
of Acceleration & Momentum*
The
law of acceleration may only apply for 3 minutes after coach reminds swimmer it
is important,
then
the law of Momentum becomes dominant soon to be replaced by the law of Inertia.
*Law
of Static Levels*
Swimmers
will automatically seek their own comfort level and tend to attract others to so
the same.
*
Mind over Matter*
The
mind can overcome many obstacles during competition but the same does not
usually apply during practices.
*Law
of Finite Attraction*
Even
after carefully explaining the efficiency and effectiveness of an ideal stroke
rate, within 3 minutes swimmer will invariably lose the ability to count strokes
and think about any related concept. See similar anomaly under Law of
Acceleration.
*
Relativity *
The
position of the swimmer’s body in relation to the position it is supposed to be
in, may vary up to +or- 100%.
*Vertical
and Horizontal Telemetry *
When
rotated 90 degrees from the vertical to supine or sublime position, the brain
loses most of its ability to function.
*Historical
Principle of
Within
3 minutes of the start of coach speaking, the swimmers begin hearing
unrecognizable tongues.
See
similar anomaly under Law of Finite Attraction.
*Fluid
Mechanics*
The
amount of fluids the bladder can retain is directly proportional to the
difficulty of the middle of the current practice set.
The
same principle seems to apply to ripping caps and broken goggle straps, but no
scientific evidence connecting the 3 has been
documented.
