Many of us swear by it, but the benefits are difficult to aquantify, trials relatively small and of course most people who indulge are generally fit anyway.
Swimming in The Loch of the Lowes. My partner prides herself in never even whimpering as the water gets into the wet suit (soon to be discarded for the summer).

Once I turned 60, and especially after I no longer had a job to go to, I ceased caring what anyone else thinks about my appearance. I mean that in a healthy way. I think that's true for most men my age, unless you're a narcissist. 🤷♂️
Devices such as #MobiMats allow people to move across the sand to the water on a sturdy platform, which would make it easier for people like Lumsdon to cross the beach.
...in #Toronto, the city says only three of its 10 supervised #swimming#beaches — Woodbine, Ward's Island & Centre Island — have #accessibility features like mats, decks or beach #wheelchairs that people can reserve ahead of their visit.
I do remember taking my swim lessons as a very young kid but I don't remember what it feels like to not know how to swim. I have some adult friends who don't know how to swim and always wondered what it would feel like to learn as an adult. This video series is documenting just that. #swimming Learning How To Swim As An Adult | Episode 1
I’m the child of post war Greek migrants to Australia where urban legend has it, there’s one of us out there who knows how to swim. It’s not me or anyone I know.
@gyptazy Badezentrum Sindelfingen, am Wochenende wird da immer gut geheizt.

Beim olympischen Leistungszentrum zu leben hat ein paar kleine Vorteile xD
Since my post-reboot fitness routine has a lot of cycling and running I figured maybe I'll add swimming and try for a triathlon. In the past I was amazed at how much more gassed swimming made me feel. I figured it was because it is such a full body exercise or inefficient technique due to being very rusty. Looking at the breathing technique issues brought up here I think it could be a bit of that too. Still TBD if I'm going to add swimming in as a regular workout but if I do I'm going to rewatch this. #swimming#fitness#exercise#training Why Am I Exhausted After Swimming 50m!?
Yeah, don't worry about trying to get pics and vids of yourself during training, @CodySimpson -- it's less about doing it for the cameras or for the glamour of it. As long as you can record some stories or talk about them after this extreme phase of your life has concluded, that will be more than enough. We do appreciate the glimpses you have shown us as they let us know you're doing everything to push as hard as you can. #AustralianOlympicTrials#Swimming#Dolphins
Cody makes lots of good points and comparisons to what he's going through right now to past events, most notably how his time on Broadway was the closest in terms of effort required.
Just so happens I had another vivid (nighttime) #VisionOfCody recently. It certainly didn't have the persistence of the one a while back where he details that plan he put together, and wanted my opinion on it. But, this latest one did also occur in that same Ford Falcon Wagon after a crazy day of surfing he got in, all before a powerful storm came. The two of us ended up getting stuck in that Falcon Wagon for a while, as we rode out the driving rains and winds outside.
@hankg Many articles online note her prior behaviors (which you noted) and the abuse allegation along with the certification issue. Why? Because it sells whether true or not. I have no reason to not believe her in any of the points. Even if she said something inappropriate about the guy that did the swim, it was her opinion and the context is unknown to anyone but her. I agree the story itself is quite inspirational and it was a great movie.
@shelenn Her embellishments are beyond that. For example she stated many times she was the first woman to swim around the island of Manhattan. She was not. Worse, in writings of hers back to the mid-1970s she wrote about those who did it before. So it wasn’t she wasn’t aware of it, corrected herself, and never spoke of it again.
At the very end of the movie there is a very touching scene where the real life Bonnie and Diane at some post-swim event. In it Bonnie kind of rubs her about her propensity for embellishment.
Why do some people who accomplish such amazing things feel the need to pump the PR to 11 to the point of bending facts or making things up? I don’t know. It appears she is one of them though.
I still think her accomplishments are amazing and noteworthy. So I’m not going to take that away from her.
In this clip from ‘In The Swim’ from Screen Archive South East we see Crawley’s newly built swimming pool in 1964 - the perfect way for new towners to keep fit and relax!
