I couldn’t find it with better quality. Anyways, Enjoy~~ Synopsis Two years ago, five high-school boys brought fame to a small town in Japan. What was so unique was that they formed a "men’s synchronized swimming club." Their involvement and struggles while learning synchronized swimming – known to be a sport for girls – brought much attention to their school and town. Two years have passed since that summer, and the boys of Tadano High School are still in the club. The Fuji Television drama "Water Boys" shows how these young boys fight to learn synchronized swimming, fall in love, and enjoy friendship with one another. This Drama is not subbed be me.

So the winter is upon us and it’s time to go indoors to practice swimming. How does a good open water swimmer or triathlete learn effective skills indoors? Why do it: Learning how to draft in a pool allows you to really feel the benefits of drafting, as well as locating that perfect spot for your body to be in. How to do it: 1) You’ll need some friends to swim with, and typically partner with people who are about the same speed as you. 2) We’ll show some variations of hip drafting techniques, first, the chevron. The lead swimmer is in the middle, and the drafters will be located on either side trying to stay at the hips of the lead. 3) Next we’ll try the wedge. The lead swimmer will be the furtherst to one side, with each swimmer lined up next to each other at the hips… each just a bit behind the other. 4) Now try, the line. One swimmer directly behind the otner swimmer, in a line. Trying to stay as close to the swimmer in front, without hitting the feet. It’s good to stay close, but bad to make the swmimer in front of you mad. How to do it really well (the fine points): Try passing to help incorporate more training into this practice. Start with one swimmer at the hips, and then sweep out, and accelerate passed the lead swimmer. The swimmer being passed should then locate themselves next to the passer, and draft off of them. To better illustrate race type situaions, have all the swimmers leave at the same time in a cramped lane challenge. This simulated mass start can <b>…</b>

Total time today for Jonas was 7:15:50. – I had a great day even though I feel dead tired right now! Regardless of how good of a day you here this first stage is going to beat you up. Weather on the west side of Big Island was warm but turning at south point clouds started to appear. – The toughest part of the day is without a doubt the last 25 miles with a steady climb to the finish. The wind turned in the last five miles and I thought it would never end! I´m happy to be in the lead but there´s still a lot of racing to be done. I go in to day two very humble and un-assuming and will take the day as it comes, Jonas says. Jonas Colting has won Ultraman World Championships twice, 2004 and 2007.
