The Ineffectiveness of Manual Treatment of Swimming Pools by Chidozie Charles Nnaji, Agina Ifeyinwa, Iloanya Ifeoma

“…The pool was constructed in 1961 and has been in operation since then except that many facilities including the treatment system are no longer functional forcing management to resort to treatment of the pool water by spraying the chemicals on the surface of the water and allowing swimmers to do the mixing. Prior to the physicochemical and microbial monitoring, questionnaires were administered to the swimmers which revealed that there was a level of dissatisfaction among the swimmers. …”

THE ANALYSIS OF TREND OF SWIMMING RESULTS IN MONTENEGRO FROM 2000-2009 by Branislav Radulović

“…While the average values of all results remain for years on approximately the same level, their oscilations are evident inside the groups, primarily because of the small number of more quality swimmers. The population of women swimmers has achieved a much better results, compared to man swimmers, for the defined period. …”

Fluid mixing by curved trajectories of microswimmers. by Pushkin, DO, Yeomans, J

“…We consider the tracer diffusion D(rr) that arises from the run-and-tumble motion of low Reynolds number swimmers, such as bacteria. Assuming a dilute suspension, where the bacteria move in uncorrelated runs of length λ, we obtain an exact expression for D(rr) for dipolar swimmers in three dimensions, hence explaining the surprising result that this is independent of λ. …”

Upstream swimming in microbiological flows by Yeomans, J, Mathijssen, A, Shendruk, T, Doostmohammadi, A

“…We develop a model for microswimmer dynamics in non-Newtonian Poiseuille flows. We predict that swimmers in shear-thickening (-thinning) fluids migrate upstream more (less) quickly than in Newtonian fluids and demonstrate that viscoelastic normal stress differences reorient swimmers causing them to migrate upstream at the centreline, in contrast to well-known boundary accumulation in quiescent Newtonian fluids. …”

Relationship between Maximum Force–Velocity Exertion and Swimming Performances among Four Strokes over Medium and Short Distances: The Stronger on Dry Land, the Faster in Water? by Vincenzo Sorgente, Aaron Agudo-Ortega, Alejandro Lopez-Hernandez, Jesus Santos del Cerro, Diego Minciacchi, José María González Ravé

“…Sprinters (both 50 m and 100 m) of all strokes could exert significantly higher force–velocity compared to 200 m swimmers (e.g., 0.96 ± 0.06 m/s performed by sprinters vs. 0.66 ± 0.03 m/s performed by 200 m swimmers). …”
