Q: Aim to keep your body as flat as you can so you can streamline through the water. Position your hips and legs so they are just slightly underwater. Keep your stomach flat and level to support your back and as near to the surface of the water as possible. Position your head so that it is inline with the body and the water level meets your hairline and eyebrows, with eyes looking forward and down. In this position you want to keep your head and spine as still and relaxed as possible. For momentum, rotate your hips and shoulders. Your head should only join the movement when you come up for breath. Your hips should not rotate as much as your shoulders. Your kicks should alternate and start at the hip with a slight knee bend. Your legs should be close together with ankles relaxed. Do a steady small motion with most of the pressure on your feet. You still should be moving your whole leg, but your feet should be moving up and down with the movement of your legs. Make the kicks long and fast, but with very little splash.Try to do six kicks in every arm cycle, so three kicks per arm movement. One hand should follow the other hand into the water above your head. The elbows first exit the water half a foot to a foot or so. Make spear motions with your arm, with your palms turned facing out, causing your thumb to enter the water first. Make one spear with your arm through the water and as you pull the other elbow up out of the water, move the first arm back through the water to your body. Don't start pulling your arm back as soon as your hand is in the water. Allow your arm to reach forward, forming the spear, before you begin to pull it back to your body. When your hand enters the water, sweep your elbow forward, then pull it back towards the center of the body and then out towards the thighs. Breathing in front crawl can be difficult, but it is important for the stroke. Try to breathe after every three strokes. Smoothly turn your head to the side and lift your mouth out of the water as you enter the opposite arm into the water. Try not to lift your head too much out of the water, because the more your head raises the more your feet and legs will sink. As you breathe, one side of your face should still be in the water. You may want to stretch your mouth some to one side to keep water from getting in it. The regularity of breathing is not the same for everyone. If you need to breathe more often then do so. Just aim to keep your same position and try to make your breaths regular. This swimming technique is perfect for swimming in the ocean for many reasons. It helped Adam Walker, record breaking swimmer who swam across the English Channel, prolong his swimming career. This stroke is good for anyone: children and adults, open water swimmers and channel swimmers. To change up your stroke for more endurance in the water, alter your movements in these ways: Instead of using your chest and shoulders to drive your hand and arm into the water, focus on using your core. Imagine turning your hips and using your hips to propel you through the water. Enter the water early. Use the same motion with your hand, but as you lift your elbow from the water, enter you hand into the water closer to your head. On a regular front crawl your hand would enter the water a foot or so in front of you, but with this stroke you want to enter the hand into the water a few inches in front of your head. Hold your recovery arm in place. In a normal stroke, as you begin to enter one hand into the water, you will already be pulling your other arm back. In this stroke, keep your arm extended out in front of you until your other hand is just about to enter the water. Then, pull it back. Only pull your arm back to your hip. On a regular stroke you would pull your arm back to your thigh, but on this one, only pull it back to you power section: your hips. Some of the benefits of this technique are: Uses correct muscles Maximizes speed and efficiency Saves energy and prevents injuries Relaxes your body, which helps relax your mind Improves stability in rough water Helps you keep your form in your stroke even when tired
A: Start in a normal front crawl position. Kick your feet. Move arms alternatively. Master your breathing. Alter your technique to the Ocean Walker Swim Stroke.

Q: About two inches should be good. When the barrel fills up, you need an overflow valve to let water run out in a controlled way instead of bubbling out the top. As with the spigot, use tape and washers to lock and seal it in place. Attach a hose to the valve and direct the hose to run into a ditch or other proper drainage near your house. This will keep your yard from flooding when water starts spewing out of your barrel. You can also run the hose into a second rain barrel. This way when the first fills up, the water just flows into the next one. But eventually you will need to have a barrel that drains properly. A downspout diverter attaches to the downspout and the rain barrel. Once the rain barrel is full, water continues down the downspout, eliminating any chance of overflow.
A: Drill a hole in the side toward the top of the barrel. Screw in and secure your valve. Create an overflow system to prevent flooding. Alternatively you can simply use a diverter.

Q: Words are great, but pictures say much more. Include as many pictures, graphs, tables, charts, diagrams, etc., as possible. Keep your backgrounds (i.e., whatever is behind your graphics and text) simple and subtle. Reading the text that is on top of a colourful or complex background can be difficult and distracting. Try to print as many of your graphics in colour as possible, especially graphs and charts where the colour distinguishes between different items or variables. If you don't have access to a colour printer, you can use markers or crayons to add color to things like graphs and charts. Each visual item (graph, chart, table, diagram, picture, etc.) should have its own number (or letter), plus a descriptive caption. When the main text refers to a specific visual item, that number or letter should be used. The caption should accurately and quickly describe what is contained in the visual item, and can be printed in slightly smaller font (less than 16 pt). Your main text and captions should include the technical or scientific names, terms and jargon for the discipline your project is based on. If necessary, you can also include a glossary of terms on your display board or in your project report. Using the proper terms is especially important if your project is being displayed in a science fair or event that is being judged by professionals. If your project is really complex, you can also include a 'layman's summary' as part of your display which sums up your project in language anyone can understand. This is particularly useful if your display board is also being viewed by fellow students, parents, or non-professionals. It can be tempting to get really creative and eccentric when creating a project display board, but try to avoid the temptation! A good project display board is one that is uncluttered, has easy-to-read and clear material, contains graphics that effectively explain your project, and colours that don't overwhelm the viewer. Search the web for example display boards to get an idea of what works well, and what doesn't. Ask your teacher for advice on what to do and not to do, and for examples of project boards that previously received awesome grades. Display boards come in a standard size of 36" tall and 48" wide. You can buy or make larger (or smaller) boards, but make sure the size is not only appropriate for your display but also allowed by the event (if such rules exist). These display boards have three panels - the middle panel which is half the width of the whole board, and the two outside panels that are a quarter of the width each. The two outside panels can fold over the middle panel to close the board for transport. And the outside panels can be used to stand the whole display board upright on a table. You can find display boards at online retailers like Amazon.com or at your local school supply store. Bigger is not always better. Boards that are really tall or really wide may be difficult to read and/or contain too much information.
A:
Use as many visual items as possible. Label all your graphs, charts and photos. Include the proper terms and jargon. Remember that less is more. Buy the proper display board.
