Watch Kick 2
Francisco Raya
My new Watch counts laps when my arms are moving. But when I do kick board intervals, the watch counts it as resting time. (ARGH!) I assume this happens because my arms are holding the kick board and not moving. Is there anyway to correct this in the Activity data or app? (I thought the app used GPS during swims.) Is there a work around or a third party app that will record my pool time accurately?
Correct. Yes it is possible to go in and out of drill mode. Enter drill mode when you start any drills, do the drill, press lap to end the drill, enter the distance, then scroll to the swim screen and swim. Repeat as necessary
To add to this if you are doing workouts you have in advance (as opposed to a coach giving you sets from the pool deck) you can also set up the workout in Connect and if you select "Drill" for the stroke for an interval it will switch to drill mode for that interval. This also means the watch will prompt you for each interval and countdown your rest automatically.

Today is the day college basketball fans have waited for all year. It's Selection Sunday, the day the NCAA releases rankings and seedings for men's and women's college basketball teams for the NCAA College Basketball Tournament -- aka March Madness.
The annual beginning of the NCAA College Basketball Tournament for both men's and women's teams, Selection Sunday is the NCAA's reveal of seedings and rankings in the knockout bracket of the tournament known as "March Madness."
A total of 68 college men's teams and 68 college women's teams become eligible for the tournament through the regular college basketball season, while 32 teams gain automatic entry to the tournament by winning their conference's championship. The remaining teams advance to the tournament only if they are awarded an at-large bid by the selection committee. Those decisions happen largely on Selection Sunday and the days leading up to it.
If you've given up your cable subscription, or your cable provider doesn't include ESPN (men's rankings reveal) or CBS (women's rankings reveal), you can subscribe to one of the streaming or live TV platforms featured below.
CBS will play host to some of this year's men's March Madness games, which means Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can stream men's Selection Sunday live on Paramount+. You'll also get access to college basketball games broadcast on CBS during the March Madness tournament. (You can watch your local CBS affiliate live any time on Paramount+ with Showtime.)
A subscription to Paramount+ with Showtime is $11.99 per month. The streamer offers a seven-day free trial. Note that you won't be able to stream men's March Madness live with a Paramount+ Essential subscription.
Paramount+ content, including men's March Madness 2024 and Selection Sunday 2024, is available to stream on Amazon Prime via a Paramount+ on Prime Video add-on subscription. Prime Video also carries some of the best sports documentaries, including "Kelce," which chronicles former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce's last season in the league.
Amazon is offering a seven-day free trial of Paramount+ with Showtime. Tap the button below to start your trial and start streaming now for free. After the free trial period ends, a subscription to the Paramount+ with Showtime tier is $11.99 per month.
If you're new to streaming sports, you should know about Fubo. Fubo is a sports-centric streaming service that offers access to both men's and women's selection reveals, every March Madness game airing on network and cable TV, plus your local TV affiliates, hundreds of cable TV channels and 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. Another great reason to love Fubo is its lookback feature, which lets you watch sporting events up to 72 hours after they air live.
Start watching NCAA basketball on Fubo and also get access to network-aired NFL, NBA and MLB games by starting a seven-day free trial of Fubo. You can begin watching immediately on your TV, phone, tablet or computer. Fubo starts at $80/month for the Pro tier, which includes over 184 channels, but the streamer is currently offering the first month for $60.
You can watch March Madness 2024, including both the men's and women's Selection Sunday reveals, with the Hulu + Live TV/ESPN+ bundle. The bundle features 95 channels, including ESPN, ABC and CBS, and includes ESPN+, so you'll be able to watch every game of both tournaments and today's seedings reveal. The women's Final Four will be broadcast live on ESPN+. Unlimited DVR storage is also included. Watch Selection Sunday, and every March Madness game on every network this season with Hulu + Live TV/ESPN+ bundle.
If you don't have cable TV that includes TNT, TBS and ESPN, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream women's Selection Sunday, and March Madness game this year, is through a subscription to Sling TV. The streamer offers access to your local network affiliate's live feed (excluding CBS) and also includes NFL Network and ESPN with its Orange tier plan. Also worth noting: Sling TV comes with 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space included, perfect for recording all the season's top NFL matchups.
Note: Because men's March Madness 2024 will broadcast on CBS, you won't be able to watch all men's March Madness 2024 games with a Sling TV subscription. If you're looking to stream the men's tournament, we suggest a subscription to one of the other platforms featured here.
You can also watch the men's tournament, including Selection Sunday, plus the women's national championship game on TV, with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here's the kicker: There's no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal -- or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch March Madness without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This amplified digital antenna with a 250-mile range can receive hundreds of HDTV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox and Univision, and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV, top-tier sound and features an 18-foot digital coax cable.
Researchers armed with high-speed cameras have captured the complex maneuvers that the rodents (Dipodomys deserti) deploy to avoid deadly bites from sidewinder rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes). Two new studies, published online March 27 in Functional Ecology and the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, offer the first detailed looks at those tricks.
After capturing 32 skirmishes in the Sonoran Desert in Yuma, Ariz., the researchers identified new defensive tricks. When snakes lunged at the rodents, the rats twisted and contorted their bodies in midair to dodge fangs. Even when snakes managed to bite, some rats kicked their foes off before getting a deadly dose of venom.

A National Fisheries and Aquaculture service employee wearing biosafety gear approaches a sea lion at a beach in Chile that was closed in May 2023 due to the spread of bird flu in the region. That year, at least 24,000 South American sea lions died from an H5N1 infection.
Skin from a mammoth that died 52,000 years ago was so well-preserved that even the 3-D structure of its DNA was intact. Here, researchers Valerii Plotnikov and Dan Fisher examine the skin after it was excavated from Siberian permafrost.
