Scuba diving

an example of a minor ellipsis. It is when Mr. Blume backs up to dive into the pool, he still has a cigarette in his mouth, then there is a cut to him getting a running start for the dive. A wide shot is shown after a cut of the action of Mr. Blume diving into the pool, here he does not have the cigarette. The sequence and cuts indicate that Mr. Blume put his cigarette down, but there is no observation of that. The viewer has to be in the filmic time in space in order to realize that this action…

How to choose the best above ground pool Introduction Are you living in a place where weather is hot and humid and you want to beat the heat by buying a swimming pool? But due to the high cost of installation and maintenance you are seeking a less expensive option. Above ground pool is the best cost-effective option to fulfill your need.

What is water? Water is a colorless substance that humans can’t live with out. Water is an essential ingredient for human existence. This is how most humans would describe water, but when it comes to me; I describe water as my second home. When I was younger I would spend a lot of my time at my grandparents condo in Florida. The community they lived in had a huge swimming pool that I would go to every time I visited them, I would spend hours playing in the pool and my grandparents would have to…

The girl sitting on the side of the pool with blue lips, shivering like it is twenty degrees outside, that was me. As a child, most kids go to a swimming class to learn how to swim and enjoy their lessons, to ultimately growing up spending days on the lake with their friends soaking up the sun kissed water. For me, this experience was a little different.I loathed going to swim class. I would beg and cry, asking my mom to take me out of the class but the feeling of being a young child who just…

Growing up, I was a swimmer. I started swimming competitively when I was nine years old and continued throughout high school. Since high school, I have kept swimming a part of my life by using it for exercise and coaching swimmers from age five to eighteen. Swimming has provided many benefits to me. As the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested, swimming has become my "life sport" (AAP, 2006). For me it's like riding a bicycle, I never forget how to do any of the strokes. It is a…

One of my most distinctive long-term goals that I had was to qualify for our varsity swim and dive team as well as to participate in the state meet as a freshman. Being a nationally accredited team, I understood that if I wanted to achieve my goal, I would have to devote a large amount of my time and effort into my practice schedule. This resulted in multiple practice times, an increased workout schedule and participation in outside service involving the swim and dive team. After school,…

Talking Star Jones, Financial Mistakes and Lessons Learned It sounds funny to say that Star Jones is trying to "keep up with the Joneses". The lawyer, talk show host, and corporate president didn't find it too amusing when she was in the midst of the rat race, though. According to Black Enterprise, Jones owed over $75,000 in student loans and had maxed out her credit cards by the time she finished law school. Sadly, the cards had been used to pay for more than school supplies and necessities.…

Kids from all over the world like to swim. So why don't we make it to where there are more sports for them to play while they are in the swimming pool? We could do surfing in the pool, basketball, football. The schools that have swimming as a sport should make it to where they can be able to play sports while swimming because they can get more people to join, get fit, and that the kids may get too competitive. Altho it would probably be hard to do football in the pool, we could get way more…

My Swimming Story Swimming never fails to appeal to me. I grew up swimming and had continuous year-round swim workouts and competitions. Being born and raised in China, I started my swim career in an elementary school. Since then, I swam through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. It could not be denied that my hard work paid off since I managed to obtain lots of medals and broke multiple local records. What’s more valuable was that I became the team captain in my…

It’s never easy for me to admit that I had something wrong with me, or strange thoughts went through my mind. In the pool, is where the strange thoughts hurt me the most. I found a hidden talent inside of me that I never knew existed at the age of 13, and that was my ability to swim long distance races. The first time I swam one of these, I broke a team record and I knew this was the path to go down. But through the talent I soon came to find, nerves started to set in. The thought of swimming…
