I was also just told a firm no on the stock tank idea

hey, i bet the bed of your truck is the right size! Rednecks have been turning truck beds into swimming pools since the dawn of time

 

[Jehannum]

I just quickly measured my arm at 28", how can she not use a 30"?

Because you typically don't float right at the top of the water.

at 30", I'd be wary of knee scrapes and finger stubs even with smaller folk.

 

[Jehannum]

They have.

Also, Tractor Supply has stock tanks available for pickup.

Got some more warped 2x6s to extend the top out a bit?

 

[Domon]

in all seriousness though, isnt the easy solution here to just go find a pond or lake?

Because the water depth on a 30" inflatable is typically only 24".

Her coach has one, we're getting the details.

Which is more than enough for her 12" arms!

I wish it was deep enough.

@Mrs. Valve

Your thoughts?

I think @fly needs an ass woopin.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

Trying to find an above ground inflatable pool that's at least 32" deep.

Someone needs to train for shit.

Make one.

Better off measuring from the opposite shoulder to the finger tip. And you'd want some wiggle room.

for most people this is almost exactly half their height. Your "wingspan" is usually within an inch or two of your height

You also rotate your body while swimming. You'd be better measuring from mid-chest to finger tip.

 

[Valve1138]

Spine to finger tips.

True, but when you stroke your body dips down. Well, that's what I remember from my swimming days. However I was a sprint swimmer, not endurance. People also have different stroke styles.

oh, i wasnt arguing, i was just putting out a fact.

I always swam the long event, 500s, 1650s, etc. That, and the 50 free. For some reason i was really strong at sprinting for 50, but not 100-200

The turn is a huge skill.

 

[Domon]

oh, i had no prob with flip turns. I actually was super fast when i was underwater and could gain a lot off a flip.

I just got slow like 75M in

Head start to weigh you down?

 

[Domon]

ha, im sure the increased blunt surface area didnt help

Actually, in hydrodynamics a large head would help.

Uh, what?
