swimming

Search the forum,
Swimming is the self-propulsion of a person through water, or other liquid, usually for recreation, sport, exercise, or survival. Locomotion is achieved through coordinated movement of the limbs and the body to achieve hydrodynamic thrust which results in directional motion. Humans can hold their breath underwater and undertake rudimentary locomotive swimming within weeks of birth, as a survival response.Swimming is consistently among the top public recreational activities, and in some countries, swimming lessons are a compulsory part of the educational curriculum. As a formalized sport, swimming features in a range of local, national, and international competitions, including every modern Summer Olympics.

    Advice on swimming pool tiling

    Hi fellow tilers, got a swimming pool to tile, last pool i worked on was about 7 years ago, just needing advice on suitable adhesive, grout and pricing. Does the render/screed need prep of any kind etc. Any help would be gratefully appreciated, cheers, Alan:huh2:
