Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yeah. Years ago you weren't meant to submerge the very top of your head but it's over 10yrs since I was coaching swim club and it was ok then.

I thought it depended entirely on how recently you'd had your hair permed?

So was there a rule in competition about head not fully submerging or was it just a convention about how it was taught?
