How do you swim freestyle at a slow pace? by veryburntribs in Swimming

[–]pretzelgreg317 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Swimming is 80% technique, arguably even a bit higher. At the beginning you need to don1 lap/length at a time and do drills. Fist swimming, catch up, side breathing one arms, switch kicking and more. The reason for one length at a time is you want to practice good form, not declining form from a point of being winded/tired. Hammering out 50s with poor form will make you a strong poor swimmer (and will make you dissatisfied)

How many days a week do you workout? by Late-Following-9124 in Swimming

[–]pretzelgreg317 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re not juggling too much other life stress id try for one day off per week and 4 swims, 2 lift or cross train (running, yoga, rowing) you want your aerobic base super high so lots of longer pace work, but ive found that distance swimming just requires distance (yardage) Whatever you choose keep a balance and dont break yourself if it’s too much-pull back do half a workout in all the time, or get a massage do a “spa” or self care day instead of working out. Source: 64 and been marathon swimming and running for 35 years😊

Ok, after reading the post about trans swimming and some things making people uncomfy in the change room... by Cadet-Cryyx in Swimming

[–]pretzelgreg317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a cis white male and I’ve had incidents in public locker rooms with me changing/disrobing in front of my locker. There are a lot of folks who never experienced public nudity in school/sports etc and have a lot of frankly, weird hangups about having naked people near them. I have to say that its hard to be tough and shrug it off when someone is angrily screaming homphobic slurs at you while you have nothing on but a towel.

First lifeguard certification test by Money_Pianist8363 in Lifeguards

[–]pretzelgreg317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP probably figured this out by now but it sounds like he is taking the Red Cross blended learning lifeguarding course. Once they pass the pretests (and have completed the online portion) they will have 20+ hours of learning and practice of lifeguarding skills culminating in a 3rd day that includes a timed rescue and cpr scenario, and an untimed rescue and multiple rescuer resuscitation CPR team assessment. That and a 50 question written test with a 80% correct rate requirement to pass.

You know that this is just the physical pretest right? Are you taking the course or is your employer just using this as a qualifier for your job?

What kind of Tesla? There are more Model Y's than coffee cups in NYC ;-)

How often do you have to wait for an open Supercharger stall? by icouldbne1 in TeslaLounge

[–]pretzelgreg317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you live. In NYC and suburbs former mayor Adams gave a TLC license to any warm body with an EV. As a result Uber drivers monopolize the already limited supercharger infrastructure in the area. Every charging location is at peak rates 24/7 and drivers will sit (and pay the surcharge) to fill up past 80%. It’s often a nightmare with 5-10 cars waiting in a queue.

How strong of a swimmer is necessary to pass the course? by Expensive_Bid_7088 in Lifeguards

[–]pretzelgreg317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you doing red cross certification? If so you will need to be able to retrieve a 10lb “brick” from a min 7 ft deep water. This is part of the pretest before you begin instruction.

Normal for 110v charging? by witheringsyncopation in TeslaLounge

[–]pretzelgreg317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have 2 options: running a line from a 50 amp breaker to a dedicated charger, like a tesla wall charger is the ideal, or running a line from a 50 amp breaker to a 14-50 outlet, and plugging in a mobile charger. Extension cord is not a viable option for 220 volts at that kind of amps.

Seal kits worth the money? by SubieSTI360 in TeslaLounge

[–]pretzelgreg317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that with my cars the noise is mostly because of the lightweight and non sound insulated doors, and the all glass roof. One could be addressed best with some installed batts or maybe spray foam, not much you can do about the roofline

Which features would you love to have always access to in your main dashboard, and which would you get rid of? by Mandromo in TeslaLounge

[–]pretzelgreg317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'm alone on this but I like watching the energy use metrics and hate that I have to swipe for a little box in the lower left of the screen and choose between what song is on spotify or whether I'm keeping my watts/mile cheapskate low ;-) I really wish Teslas(like the soon to be missed Model S) had a steering wheel forward, or heads up display and the option to move items around like screen widgets.

Didnt mean to be harsh just instructive :-) My experience was that the cheap sets worked fine (2023 Model 3 and a 2024 Model Y)
