Dear Coach:
This might be a silly question, but how do I stop my latex cap from sticking together between workouts? New Masters MemberDear N. M. Member: Welcome to Masters! There is no such thing as a silly question! The best way to take care of your cap and have it last longer is to dry it off after swimming and put a small amount of talcum (baby) powder both inside and out. That should solve the sticking problem.
Dear Coach: How many lengths of each stroke are there in a 300IM? Not Quite Awake (at 7:30am)
Dear N.Q. Awake: In a 25m pool (all our workouts are held in a 25m pool), the first number in IM distance (here "3") is the number of lengths of each stroke. Thus in a 100IM, there is 1 length of each stroke, a 200IM has 2, and a 300IM has 3 lengths of each stroke (etc.!).
p.s. Remember that IM = Individual Medley and the order of the strokes is fly, back, breast and free. (Except in a Medley Relay where it is back, breast, fly and free!)
