At the beginning of the day all I had was a design in my mind. At the end of the day I contacted two people. Both of them in hopes of helping me with the design of the paddle. Even though today I didn't figure anything out, I really think when they get back to me it will be a huge help. I emailed Mr. Trabilsy and Mr. Grant, I asked them if there was anyway they could help me. When they do I will build the actual prototype.
In round two of genius hour I am creating a paddle. This paddle isn't a regular paddle, this paddle will have an extension. The extension will help you bend your elbows under water to increase the amount of water in your catch. I'm thinking it will be a paddle that you can find at any swim store and a stick like object that will go from your paddle to your elbow so your elbow will be at a 90 degree angle. What I like about this project is that it will tremendously help me improve my swim times and hopefully others too.
