Re: New discipline... New World Record

Well I quess I would simply tie myself to the rope maintain loosly a hydro position, and have monofinners tow me trough the water. With a breath hold some where over 6', I think 4' should be doable for me. Now it depents on how fast my seahorses swim and how regular. Maybe they can do 1m/s? 240m sounds nice.

But to be hounest I don't think it's something that is much appealing to me. The joy of selfpropulsion is the nice part of dynamic for me.

If I could introduce an new discipline it would be team dynamic. Where two swimmers belonging to a team of two, start together and make use of each other's slipstream to swim the furtest. I figured it could look really gracefull and elegant with mono's and teamwork will make a big difference, try it in a 50m pool.

The other Idea was blowing bubbles in the deep on a single breath.
Each participant is allowed two attempts. Different points can be given:

One whole bubble ring, 1 point.
One whole Bubble ring reaching the surface, 1 point.
One whole bubble ring going through another, an additional 2 points.
One whole bubble ring going through 2 other rings, an additional 6 points.
Etc..

I was thinking of this bubble ring comp because it looks beautifull, fun and cool to an wide audiance and camera. (I think more so than just plain static) Many rings, controll and a long static are also very impressive to witness.
The only difficulty appears to eliminate the advantage some big lung people may have in the amount of bubble rings they can produce.

Have fun, be creative!

Love, Courage and Water!
