Flow Interactions Between Low Aspect Ratio Hydrofoils in In-line and Staggered Arrangements by Melike Kurt, Azar Eslam Panah, Keith W. Moored

“…Many species of fish gather in dense collectives or schools where there are significant flow interactions from their shed wakes. Commonly, these swimmers shed a classic reverse von Kármán wake, however, schooling eels produce a bifurcated wake topology with two vortex rings shed per oscillation cycle. …”

Delayed Effect of Dry-Land Strength Training Sessions on Swimming Performance by Alexandros Tsoltos, Gavriil Arsoniadis, Charilaos Tsolakis, Panagiotis Koulouvaris, Theocharis Simeonidis, Alexandros Chatzigiannakis, Argyris Toubekis

“…The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of dry-land strength endurance (SE) and maximum strength (MS) sessions on next-day swimming performance. Eight swimmers (age: 18.6 ± 2.9 years) performed evening training sessions (19:00–19:40), including: (i) SE (2 × 15 − 20 repetitions, 50% of 1-RM), (ii) MS (2 × 5 repetitions, 90% of 1-RM), (iii) control (CON: no dry-land training). …”
