I need to know the standard order of events that are swam at a swim meet. I have googled that but have gotten nothing. If anyone can tell me the answers i would appreciate it. Please respond ASAP.
Thanks
What events are traditionally swam at a swim meet?
My age group is like this:
Medley Relay
25 FREE
50 Free
100 Free
200 Free
100 IM
200 IM
25 FLY
50 FLY
100 FLY
25 BACK
50 BACK
100 BACK
25 BREAST
50 BACK
100 BREAST
FREE RELAY
HS SWIM
MEDLEY RELAY
50 FREE
100 FREE
200 FREE
200 FREE RELAY
500 FREE
DIVING
100 FLY
100 BACK
100 BREAST
400 RELAY
However it usually varries from state to state. If you check your local newspaper they have HS swimming results in the paper. It'll show you in the order of events.
Reply:In High School swimming the order of events is as follows:
200 Medly Relay
200 Freestyle
200 Individual Medly
50 Freestyle
Diving
100 Butterfly
100 Freestyle
500 Freestyle
200 Freestyle Relay
100 Backstroke
100 Breaststroke
400 Freestyle Relay
In a club meet there is far more diversity. In Back, breast, and fly the events are from 50 (only viable for young children) to the 200. In Freestyle, there is the 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and 1650. Along with those there can be various relays including the 200 medly relay, 400 medly relay, 400 freestyle relay, and 200 freestyle relay.
Reply:butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, IM (fly, back, breast, free), and medly (back, breast, fly, free), and relays
25 yards (one lap) if you'rr 10 and under
50 yards (two laps) if you're 11 and older
Reply:The answers here are all correct, except it looks like people have forgotten the 400 IM
Events (For Yards Meets) Include:
Freestyle: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 1650.
Butterfly/Backstroke/Breastroke: 100, 200
Individual Medley (IM): 200, 400
Relays: 200 Free; 400 Free; 800 Free; 200 Medley; 400 Medley
IM: Fly, Backstroke, Breastroke, Freestyle (divided equally)
Medley: Backstroke, Breaststroke, Fly, Free (divided equally)
- Meters is mostly the same, except substitute 800 Free and 1500 Free for the 1000 and 1650. Internationally, men swim the 1500, and Women swim the 800.
- Little kids also can have 25s and 50s for all strokes.
High School meets are made up of only some of these events--listed by the answer above. Club (USS) Meets tend to have most, if not all, of these events. College will have all at Conference, but the coaches typically agree on a reduced schedule for dual meets.
Reply:Usually the individual short-distance events occur first (such as the 100 or 200 meters either of a specific stroke of of the IM, aka the Individual Medley). Following that are the group events (usually with four people, one for each stroke) in the Relays. And then the long-distance individual events occur.

Current Events Project.?
ohkay, i am getting an article for my current events
that has to do with the environment...
Do you have any suggestions on:
How to write my speech?,
Nervousness,?
How to make better eye contact?,
AND
how to speack more clearly,?.
Current Events Project.?
When you write your speech make sure that you read it out loud. Also, if you can, read your speech to someone close to you. Read your speech as many times as you can before you have to do it. This will help you be able to make more eye contact. If you know the speech you will be able to look up more and not have to worry about where you left off.
As far as nervousness...I always took a lot of deep breaths and tried to think of something that's funny to keep my mind off of the fact that I was scared to death to get in front of a classroom of my peers. Make sure you have something to keep your hands occupied. If you will be using a podium keep your hands flat on the podium so you won't fidget with anything on the podium. Also, one thing that me and almost everyone in my speech class got criticized about was swaying or rocking back and forth while giving your speech. Try your best to stand still or keep your movements as little as possible. Pay attention to your other classmates and if they do something that looks bad, try not to do it yourself.
As far as speaking clearly....Always talk slower than you think you should talk. Even if you feel like you are sounding dumb, you probally are still not talking slow enough. If your speech is timed make sure you time yourself giving the speech several times.
As far as writing your speech...Make sure you don't use any words or combinations of words that you have trouble saying. Make sure that you know what you're talking about so it will be easier to talk about and you'll be able to answer questions, if there are any.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!!!
Reply:I went to nationals for speech and debate in high school... and EVERY speech i wrote followed the following outline format:
I.Intro
A. Attention getter (analogy, quote, shocking statistic)
B. Topic (blatantly state your topic... "blah is blah")
C. State 3 points to the topic ("blah is blah" because of blah, blah and blah. the last 3 blahs will be the topic sentences of the 3 body paragraphs)
II.Topic 1... Blah 1
A.
B.
C.
III.Topic 2...Blah 2
A.
B.
C.
IV.Topic 3...Blah 3
A.
B.
C.
V. Conclusion
A.Topic sentence
B.The 3 topics you covered (the 3 blahs)
C. Reconnect to the attention getter
On each of the middle three paragraphs just fill in the ABCs with 3 more subtopics for each subtopic. The 3 blahs can be organized however but some good ideas are chronology(time order), good better best, etc. You can also just do 2 blah topics by doing comparisons or pro and con.
For nervousness I would just remind you that everyone else in your class is in the same boat. And even though you will think you sound dumb... you don't. Just try not to do any thing funky with your hands and/or body. If you have long hair tie it up or back that day so you don't play with it. DON'T imagine everyone in their underwear... instead pretend they are all zoned out... which most probably will be. Eye contact is easy. Just pretend you are talking to different people. Change the person every once in a while. just don;'t stare them down. In order to speak clearly stay focused on slowing down. nerves will want to speed you up. Remember how in kindergarten the teacher made you put two fingers between words to be sure you left enough space? Do the same here... but in your mind. Imagine a beat between words if you can.... most of all dont freak out. Just pretend you are having a conversation with a bunch of people who are all quiet for once. You will have your least fake sounding speaking voice, you will lose nerves and you will make eye contact... good luck!!!!!!!! Let me know how it goes if you can!

Horsey events?
It's my Mums birthday soon and she loves horses and used to ride loads so I was wondering if there are any events we could go to as a family. Not to expensive please
any suggestions?
Horsey events?
Blackpool Beach!!?!
Reply:-Dressage
-Horse Racing
-Go to the local stables and ask if you could help with the kids and their horses(like to lead them around the pasture)
-ask a neighbor who has horses if you could borrow theres for a night out!
-barrel racing
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!! =-)
Reply:You haven't said where you live. Here in the UK there are quite a few Point-to-Points taking place on Easter Monday, tomorrow, and over the next few weeks. There are not many horse shows taking place until later in April, but the Grand National takes place at Aintree on April 5th.
Go to:-
http://www.asao.co.uk/index.php
for dates of forthcoming shows in the UK.
Reply:You could go to a local stable that might offer trail rides to the public. Then all of you could ride! They aren't too expensive either in my opinion. You could also sign her up for a month's worth of lessons or something. I would really enjoy that if I ever stopped riding for some reason or another.

Objects, events, situations that are comic and tragic?
I'm designing book covers for a college project. Two book covers will be on the theme of tragedy and two will be on the theme of comedy.
Does anyone know any objects, events, situations that are comic and tragic?
e.g:
Whats been your most comic/tragic moment?
What object do you find to be most comic/tragic?
I will need my own photographs and illustrations so it will need to be something thats easy enough to take pictures of or draw.
Objects, events, situations that are comic and tragic?
Hmm. Okay tragedy,
Black, coffins, like abandoned alleyway, blood, small little kid alone?
Comedy, hows about, like joke shop items, cartoon character doing something really wierd.?
hope i've helped a bit.

What events in the world would have to happen for you to believe that end time prophecy is playing out?
I don't think that there is anything happening in the world right now that could make one conclude that we are seeing the prophecies described in Revelations amd other books playing out.
One could look at any period in history and see things that could look like prophecy unfolding. That's why there have always been people who think we are living in the final days, or that Christ's return is iminent.
So my question is: what would have to happen that would make you think that end time prophecy is unfolding? What global events? What things in the news would you have to see to make you believe this is all happening?
And if you are one who thinks that we are in the end time right now, then what do you see happening right now that makes you think this?
Thanks.
What events in the world would have to happen for you to believe that end time prophecy is playing out?
When the 6 day war happened in Israel. When they celebrated their 40 th birthday - one generation - and when the President of Iran said; "Israel is to be wiped off the map and their name known nor more."
I know that there is Famines, Straff, Suffering and wars and rumors of wars and there has always been - ONE BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! ISRAEL!!!!! IT IS A NATION - AGAIN!
That one thing makes the prophecies - FULL! Wow!
I think 'That' is rather significant! The book of Daniel being totally understood and studied. In the book of Daniel it says that no one would understand it till the end time. Wow!
Israel IS full filled - for the first time in just over 2500 years - YES - they were not there before 1948! That's the year after my husband was born -six years before I was born - 'This Generation' WOW!
I think that's it rather obvious and Oh My God - Iraq, Iran, North Korea and with whats happening in Russia (I've been telling Everyone - the book IS coming down - Listen to what President Pudtin has been saying - Oh for the Russians - bad!).
I don't think that there is any doubt.
Be at Peace - Accept the Grace of God.
Take Care and God Bless!
Reply:First, I would have to see the panic on a Christian's face, not the bored, intellectual face that details events with great precision.
I drove a taxi for many years. In those years, I saw quite a few drivers return at the end of the shift with no money to pay for their shift. Many times, they would claim that they were robbed by a customer.
It is very easy to determine the real victim (and there will be many victims at the end of the world). If the alleged victim can describe, in detail, the person robbing them, give the exact time and location, and what kind of flashing sign was nearby, it's bologna. If the victim holds his hands up, and forms a circle in front of his face and says, "the gun was this big!", he's probably being sincere.
My point is, adding detail only diminishes the perceived sincerity of a witness. A person who actually sees the end coming, couldn't care less what sign the moon or stars are in. He's not a bit worried about a temple on a mount, or a watchtower. He's busy running for the hills, possibly naked....
Reply:Just look at what is happening in Israel
FYI, Israel is the Clock!
watch carefully the news and study The Bible, you'll find out that the coming of Christ is near!
Reply:I will know the end of the world is near when Wal-Mart goes bankrupt.
Reply:It said the gospel would be preached it all the earth and then the end [of the old system of thought] would come, "the world." The world has always been the world system that all are seeing doesn't work well enough for the 21st century. There are at least a couple of dozen christian channels alone on satellite and virutally everyone has access to a tv, so they say. So the word is being preached in the whole world. Up to three quarter of a million people show up to evanglist meetings in some countries. Science is sounding more and more spiritual. Spirituality is exploding off findings in quantum physics, now considered by most to be proved, findings that encourage analogy with spiritual concepts from for ever. We see an upsurge in spirituality from movies like "The Secret", "What The Bleep Do We Know", "Conversations with God" and a slew of others, some on youtube. Many are talking to God like the prophets of old under the spirit. In Joel it was prophecied that "In the later days I will pour out my spirit on all sorts of flesh" and "They will have to know that I am Jehovah." The world wars may qualify as Armaggedon as already having occurred. I sure hope we are smart enough not to do that again. Scientists and others are talking about an evolution of the mind occuring, I presume from the information age. Some say we're in the conceptual age. The mind thinks in pictures, the ninty percent that they say we haven't been using. The whole mind can see that an intelligence must have made this universe, it's so complex. The right brain and subconsious are being accessed by intuition and the right brain has all our humanity, love, self control and faith, to mention a few of the fruit of the spirit. So the head is beginning to wag the tail instead of us being run by our bodies. You only need fifty one percent control to be in charge. The funniest sign of the times is Paris Hilton carrying a Bible and the book "The Secret." There are many more prophecies of the end times than Revelation, that show how to interpret the symbolism and "The spirit of truth will lead you into all truth, even the deep things of God." That is being experienced. I like the thought Eye has not seen or ear heard, nor has it come up in the mind of man the things God has planned for those who love him. He being, among other things, the truth. Those area few anyway.

Reply:Every generation thinks its the end of the world. If the Black Palgue wasn't the end of the world I doubt this is.
Reply:If a giant asteroid struck Earth or a giant volcanic eruption and earthquake like at Yellowstone ripped the Earth apart or if all the nuclear powers begin nuking each other either of these things could be a sign of end times.

So my question is: what would have to happen that would make you think that end time prophecy is unfolding? What global events? What things in the news would you have to see to make you believe this is all happening?
And if you are one who thinks that we are in the end time right now, then what do you see happening right now that makes you think this?
Thanks.
What events in the world would have to happen for you to believe that end time prophecy is playing out?
When the 6 day war happened in Israel. When they celebrated their 40 th birthday - one generation - and when the President of Iran said; "Israel is to be wiped off the map and their name known nor more."
I know that there is Famines, Straff, Suffering and wars and rumors of wars and there has always been - ONE BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! ISRAEL!!!!! IT IS A NATION - AGAIN!
That one thing makes the prophecies - FULL! Wow!
I think 'That' is rather significant! The book of Daniel being totally understood and studied. In the book of Daniel it says that no one would understand it till the end time. Wow!
Israel IS full filled - for the first time in just over 2500 years - YES - they were not there before 1948! That's the year after my husband was born -six years before I was born - 'This Generation' WOW!
I think that's it rather obvious and Oh My God - Iraq, Iran, North Korea and with whats happening in Russia (I've been telling Everyone - the book IS coming down - Listen to what President Pudtin has been saying - Oh for the Russians - bad!).
I don't think that there is any doubt.
Be at Peace - Accept the Grace of God.
Take Care and God Bless!
Reply:First, I would have to see the panic on a Christian's face, not the bored, intellectual face that details events with great precision.
I drove a taxi for many years. In those years, I saw quite a few drivers return at the end of the shift with no money to pay for their shift. Many times, they would claim that they were robbed by a customer.
It is very easy to determine the real victim (and there will be many victims at the end of the world). If the alleged victim can describe, in detail, the person robbing them, give the exact time and location, and what kind of flashing sign was nearby, it's bologna. If the victim holds his hands up, and forms a circle in front of his face and says, "the gun was this big!", he's probably being sincere.
My point is, adding detail only diminishes the perceived sincerity of a witness. A person who actually sees the end coming, couldn't care less what sign the moon or stars are in. He's not a bit worried about a temple on a mount, or a watchtower. He's busy running for the hills, possibly naked....
Reply:Just look at what is happening in Israel
FYI, Israel is the Clock!
watch carefully the news and study The Bible, you'll find out that the coming of Christ is near!
Reply:I will know the end of the world is near when Wal-Mart goes bankrupt.
Reply:It said the gospel would be preached it all the earth and then the end [of the old system of thought] would come, "the world." The world has always been the world system that all are seeing doesn't work well enough for the 21st century. There are at least a couple of dozen christian channels alone on satellite and virutally everyone has access to a tv, so they say. So the word is being preached in the whole world. Up to three quarter of a million people show up to evanglist meetings in some countries. Science is sounding more and more spiritual. Spirituality is exploding off findings in quantum physics, now considered by most to be proved, findings that encourage analogy with spiritual concepts from for ever. We see an upsurge in spirituality from movies like "The Secret", "What The Bleep Do We Know", "Conversations with God" and a slew of others, some on youtube. Many are talking to God like the prophets of old under the spirit. In Joel it was prophecied that "In the later days I will pour out my spirit on all sorts of flesh" and "They will have to know that I am Jehovah." The world wars may qualify as Armaggedon as already having occurred. I sure hope we are smart enough not to do that again. Scientists and others are talking about an evolution of the mind occuring, I presume from the information age. Some say we're in the conceptual age. The mind thinks in pictures, the ninty percent that they say we haven't been using. The whole mind can see that an intelligence must have made this universe, it's so complex. The right brain and subconsious are being accessed by intuition and the right brain has all our humanity, love, self control and faith, to mention a few of the fruit of the spirit. So the head is beginning to wag the tail instead of us being run by our bodies. You only need fifty one percent control to be in charge. The funniest sign of the times is Paris Hilton carrying a Bible and the book "The Secret." There are many more prophecies of the end times than Revelation, that show how to interpret the symbolism and "The spirit of truth will lead you into all truth, even the deep things of God." That is being experienced. I like the thought Eye has not seen or ear heard, nor has it come up in the mind of man the things God has planned for those who love him. He being, among other things, the truth. Those area few anyway.
Reply:Jesus himself would have to descend out of the sky and zap my a$#.
Reply:Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of war.
Reply:When I see jesus riding down from the heavens followed closely by angel warriors I'l begin to believe the book of revelations.
Untill then I'm putting these events down to nature and the ever changing world caused by nature.
Reply:All of the violent acts recently have made me question whether there really will be an "end of days" scenario!
Reply:I agree, I can't actually say we are in the end times. However, Jesus said, that this would happen also, ppl would disbelieve even at the obvious signs He gave us to look for.
Reply:Every generation thinks its the end of the world. If the Black Palgue wasn't the end of the world I doubt this is.
Reply:If a giant asteroid struck Earth or a giant volcanic eruption and earthquake like at Yellowstone ripped the Earth apart or if all the nuclear powers begin nuking each other either of these things could be a sign of end times.

Current Events - when I was 18 I knew everything ?
... and now I'm spending the rest of my life learning how little I really know back then.
Is 'humility' in the teenage 'current Events' vocabulary ?
Current Events - when I was 18 I knew everything ?
Don't worry about it. When you get as old as me you forget what you had learned when you were 18
Reply:I doubt it, as at 18 I thought I knew everything also.
ps, can I say Mrs Rebelo, your English has rapidly improved!
Reply:Ditto!
I don't think it is!
I'm near 43 and I know nothing!!!!! lol
But I knew it all when I was a teenager, up until my mid twenties!
:-o (my surprised look!)
Reply:I don't know ... let them have fun; that's the whole point of being a teen. Besides current events r nothing but negative images nowadays--like war, racism. Let them enjoy the dream world for as long as they can.
Reply:Mark Twain once said that when he was eighteen he thought his father was the stupidest man he knew. When Twain reached age 21 he was amazed at how much his father had learned in three years.
That view of a young man proceeding from late adolesence to early adulthood hasn't changed. Humility is not thought of, because there is a popular notion that if some fable is repeated often enough it becomes truth.
Reply:LMFAO!!!!
No....18 year-olds continue to believe their knowledge is complete.
The only compensation we have is looking at them and laughing...INSIDE, where it counts!
Reply:Not really .But at least we really know everything now ..
Reply:Afraid every decade sees a different YOU but that can be a good thing. Look forward. not backward. The more mature you get is a bonus.......don't ever forget that and you will be forever young, forget it and you are indeed a lost cause!!!
Reply:You must accept our apologies as you were obviously misunderstood in the past. I am pleasantly surprised that you perfected your English in a matter of days.
I must add that at 18 i knew everything. Now the more i know the more i know that i don't know much.
Reply:lol.I think we were all like that at that age.[only 8 years ago for me].
I can't even remember what I learned in school.
That sentence ticked me then.lol. My mum used to say to me, "I'd love to know what it feels like to know as much as you".
I used to just ignore her but,I know what she meant now.x

What events occured that caused John Lennon to be considered a national threat?
Please discuss events both inside and outside of his control.
What events occured that caused John Lennon to be considered a national threat?
Lennon had a marijuana conviction in London. Under the Immigration %26amp; Nationality Act, that made him inadmissible in the United States. Of course, that wasn't the real reason why the government put him in deportation proceedings, but the cannabis conviction still furnished an adequate basis for it. After all, mob bosses have been put away for something as trivial as tax evasion (not to draw a parallel between Lennon and mob bosses).
If you think that the basis for the deportation proceedings was disingenuous, I think it's far more outrageous that Lennon eventually prevailed on the mere ground that he was John Lennon. This was one of those decisions which stand for the proposition that there are special laws for celebrities, academics, and "important" people. An unknown Joe Shmo with a drug conviction gets deported, but laws do not apply to pop stars. He's John-*******-Lennon and therefore he is above the law. I am sure the court that finally decided this thought itself very liberal-minded -- but its decision added to a collection of elitist precedents which justify selective law enforcement.
Reply:Strom Thurmond heard a rumor that Lennon was going to lead a protest march at the 1972 GOP convention. He sicced the FBI on him. But it wasn't true.

Halloween events?
i live in springfield missouri andhave 3 kids under the age of 8 and was wondering if anybody knows any halloween events to do? things such as places giving out candy or any activities...other than the ones at the colleges and the zoo
Halloween events?
Hey, fellow Springfieldian! I live in the one in Massachusetts, though. But there were a lot of Halloween events, for children or otherwise, listed in this weeks papers. Try to pick up one or two. I'm thinking perhaps the local chamber of commerce might know a thing or two about it, or be able to better direct you. Good luck!

Reply:You could have your own party. Carve Jack 'o lanterns and such. My mom used to be room mother when I was in elementary school and we did some cool stuff. We had to put our hand in this box even though we didn't know what was in it. It was spaghetti and felt really gross. We had all kinds of games and we all dressed up. We played musical chairs with a halloween cd, and it was really fun.

Current Events...?
ANOTHER SCHOOL PROJECT. I can't find any great current events. I don't want to choose something too obvious like the election, because someone else might use it. It has to be about politics or world affairs... please help?!?
Current Events...?
Hi-I would suggest that you write a paper examining how celebrity feuds are happening today more than ever due to political differences of opinion because of the war. When I was growing up, entertainers very rarely expressed their political views-I am 44 years old and can only remember celebrities entertaining poltiticians and soldiers not fighting over the state of our country due to an inept administration.
For example, the current on air fight recently between conservative Bill O' Reilly and liberal Rosie O. Donnell. Rosie states on "The View " how in some ways our country had knowledge of 9/11 and the Republican administration sat on things they knew about before the attack on the WT towers and in D.C., and were partially responsible for 9/11. Bill O says Rosie is a traitor and anti-American for saying this and should be fired from the "View." Why is he allowed his conservative freedom to speak his mind using the first amendment of the constitution and sometimes do it crassly, and Ro should be fired? I think it's a nice twist on just reporting on the war or Bush speech, etc. Has more complexity to it. Patricia Heaton is very anti-abortion and anti-gay and so is Star Jones. These are socio-political issues that could be addressed as well.

Reply:I'm not sure where you are from but there are a few:

The tsunami in Samoa and the crisis from it.
The British Soldiers who were arrested in Iran waters.
The tiredness of American's in regards to the war.
The Fiji Coup and the call now for intervention.
Reply:How about immigration, and the situation at the
Mexican border.
Look up Aztlan for example, and you can find a Mexican
political group that does not only want to get IN to
the south of the U.S..
They want it BACK.

I don't know if there are any French-American associations in the Houston area, but if there are, maybe you can get a native French speaker to come and give a presentation. Bonne Chance!

Current Events?
Well since Earth scientists seem to conclude that the earth is losing at least 3 animal, insect, and plant species a DAY you could write your homework on the fact that in the last month or 30 days - our dear earth has lost approximately 90 animals, 90 insects and 90 plant species plus or minus!
Extinction is Forever!
Good luck!

Major events of cell cycle phases?
Briefly discuss the major events of the cell cycle phases, with emphasis on the stages of Mitosis. Why is mitosis important?
Major events of cell cycle phases?
Prophase - chromatin condense into distinct chromosomes, nuclear envelope dissolves.
Metaphase - chromosomes line up along the center of the cell. Spindle fibers attach to them.
Anaphase - spindle fibers rip chromosomes apart, taking one chromatid to each end of the cell.
Telophase - new nuclear envelope forms on each side of the cell. cytokinesis occurs and cuts the cell into 2 separate cells.
It is important because it prepares the cells for division which is essential for creating new cells to sustain life.
Note: Interphase occurs before these 4 stages. It is the preparation for mitosis. During this stage, DNA replication and cell growth occur. Also, cytokinesis begins during anaphase and ends in telophase.
Reply:mmkay. i just learned about this.
in interphase, the chromosomes duplicate their dna and prepare for mitosis.
then in metaphase, the chromosomes line up. you can remember that by thinking metaphase, meeting up. :]
thennn anaphase is where the chromosomes split and head in different directions. you can remember that by think ana phase. like the first and last name, and they're separated by a space :]
then telophase is when both daughter cells are formed and a new membrane forms on both of them. remember this one by thinking "tear" because they are torn apart and are two new cells.
hope it helped! i might have left something out, it's not very fresh in my mind :/

Current events?
Hi, I need the current events for school, and I have to get it from the computer, and it has to be from 2 weeks ago or less, so can you please give me a website or something! Thank you!
