Auckland
The Auckland metropolitan area (
/ˈɔːklənd/, AWK-lənd), in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country with 1,377,200 residents, 31 percent of the country's population. Auckland has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world. In Māori Auckland's names are Tāmaki Makaurau, and the transliterated version of Auckland, Ākarana.
The 2011 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Auckland 3rd equal place in the world on its list, while the Economist's World's Most Livable Cities index of 2011 ranked Auckland in 9th place. In 2010, Auckland was classified as a Beta World City in the World Cities Study Group’s inventory by Loughborough University.
Auckland lies between the Hauraki Gulf of the Pacific Ocean to the east, the low Hunua Ranges to the south-east, the Manukau Harbour to the south-west, and the Waitakere Ranges and smaller ranges to the west and north-west. The central part of the urban area occupies a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the few cities in the world to have harbours on two separate major bodies of water.

New Zealand
New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ as well as numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island nations of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans.
During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of both animal and plant life. Most notable are the large number of unique bird species, many of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and introduced mammals. With a mild maritime climate, the land was mostly covered in forest. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions caused by the Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates clashing beneath the earth's surface.

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies. The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

The Smoothest Swimming Technique In The World? Jono Van Hazel
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 3:08
- Updated: 25 Nov 2012
www.swimsmooth.com Now this really is efficient (and fast) swimming! Watch Olympian Jono Van Hazel's near perfect stroke technique just before your next swim and reproduce his smooth movements when you jump in the water a very powerful way to improve your swimming. Notice that while Jono has a very long freestyle stroke technique he doesn't achieve this by gliding (a very common misconception amongst swimmers). Instead he has low drag and fantastic propulsive technique which gives him great distance per stroke. Whilst he has a long stroke, he also has great stroke rhythm - the real secret to great swimming. Our 'time between strokes' measure shows that Jono has nearly zero gap between finishing one stroke and starting the next. (In fact when he's swimming quickly there's even a slight overlap between strokes.) His lead hand is constantly in motion, either extending forwards, catching the water or pressing it backwards: great catch technique and no over-gliding. See more of Jono and find out how to develop this technique yourself at: www.swimsmooth.com Swim Smooth!

All Strokes - Overhead Sculling from GoSwim.tv. Like this? Watch the latest episode of GoSwim.tv on Blip! blip.tv There are many sculling drills but, in my opinion, the graduation of sculling is the overhead scull, on your back, feet first. Why Do It: This drill encompasses full-body balance, momentum, and a constant connection with the hands to keep you moving fast enough so you donapos;t sink. Itapos;s drills like these that can help you develop a better "feel" for the water. How to Do It: 1. With your feet going first, and on your back, push off the wall with your hands. 2. You may go under water initially, so make sure you have a good breath. 3. Immediately start to wave your hands above your head, like the Queen waving to her loyal subjects. 4. Continue this for the length of the pool. How to Do It Really Well (the Fine Points): To stay afloat, some swimmers may need a pull-buoy to keep the hips up, to really experience this drill. Others, like our swimmer, are able to maintain a good bodyline without the aid of any devices. Itapos;s also important to point your toes so youapos;re cutting through the water. Keep the hands moving quickly, and always keep them high above your head. See all episodes of GoSwim.tv blip.tv Visit GoSwim.tv's series page blip.tv
