shoreline. The first time I went swimming in the Gulf of Mexico I was amazed at how warm and salty the water was. It was like taking a bath in the world’s largest bathtub. There are several outside showers along the beach for you to rinse off the dried salt left on your body after your swim. The sweet smell of the gulf waters reminds me of when I use to live on a lake. Those were such happy times for me. When I am not basking in the sun or swimming in the salty waters of the gulf, I like

Current Topics Professor: Susan Heacock November 10, 2013 In 1999, Olympic swimmer Gary Hall learned he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes by his doctor and was told he would never swim competitively again. In 2000, Hall proved doctors and detractors wrong by winning his first Olympic gold in the 50 meter freestyle. He went on to do the same in 2004. Hall is living proof that life doesn’t end after a diabetes diagnosis. In fact, it can be just the

In order to preserve the image of the marvellous scenery, all the buildings were lowered into the ground so that only one third is visible on the surface. All the three buildings are connected by a very unique

Often times, life has a strange way of making bad situations work themselves out in the end, which I learned when I missed my Olympic Trials cut by less than one second. About four years ago, my work ethic was terrible and I rarely tried to be better day after day. However, I made it my goal to push harder during practice to attain all of the times that I wanted to. I struggled through countless early morning practices and difficult sets. Soon, I started to see major improvements in my performance

In another study they observed an increase in escape behaviors such as tail flipping and swimming which was in response to the ground gear component of a trawl (Newland et al 1989). With that in consideration in this current study of spiny lobsters the high value of locomotor activities indicates a disturbance response which was due to the increase in ambient noise (Filiciotto et al 2014).

education with no art classes. Although in the past I had toyed with the idea of taking weights to supplement my swimming, I never had a compelling reason to change out of regular P.E. But, when art was at stake, I signed up weights class before I could change my mind. I comforted myself that art classes would compensate for this class and that this class would compensate for the month-long swimming hiatus. However, these incentives were not enough. All thought of delayed gratification and self-improvement
