Most of you will know that I’m training for a triathlon, I know, I know, I go on about. As someone who is swimming in pools everywhere I go, I've noticed a striking difference in pool temperatures across various locations. It's concerning but I think there’s a bit of a common theme that pools in areas of higher levels of deprivation, pool temperatures are significantly colder. I know it’s costly to run a pool but this disparity not only affects comfort but also raises questions about accessibility and equity in swimming facilities. COLD POOL - Beneficiaries = makes a good business case to close community resources if not being used. This is my own anecdotal evidence and I would love to stand corrected. Swimming should be an activity that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their background or location. It’s only now as an adult that I realise I was never taught properly to swim. I’m fortunate to have an amazing swimming coach Maciej Zielinski who’s support has enabled me to develop these lifesaving skills. Addressing these disparities is crucial to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to experience the benefits of swimming. Let's work together to advocate for more inclusive and equitable swimming environments for all. 💙 #SwimmingDisparities #EquityInSwimming #InclusivityMatters

📚 Fun Swimming Facts 🏊♀️ Did you know that swimming has some pretty amazing facts? Here are a few to splash into your day: 🌍 Ancient Origins: Swimming dates back to the Stone Age, with evidence found in ancient cave paintings dating over 10,000 years old. 🧠 Brain Booster: Swimming can improve memory, cognitive function, and mood by increasing blood flow to the brain. It’s a great way to stay sharp and happy! 💦 Calorie Burner: An hour of vigorous swimming can burn up to 650 calories, making it one of the best workouts for weight loss and fitness. 👶 Survival Skill: Babies have a natural reflex called the “swimming reflex” that makes them hold their breath and move in water, showing how deeply connected we are to this activity. 🌊 Universal Sport: Swimming is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, from toddlers to seniors. Share these fun facts with your swim buddies! 🏊♂️💦

In a state like Florida, surrounded by water and blessed with year-round warm weather, swimming is not just a recreational activity but a crucial life skill. However, the alarming rate of drowning incidents, especially among children, underscores the need for comprehensive swimming education and safety measures. Discover why swimming lessons are a lifesaving investment for Florida families: https://lnkd.in/eB2FhRhu

For Hunter S Thompson every decision is a choice between floating with the tide or swimming for a goal. "Think of any decision you’ve ever made which had a bearing on your future: I may be wrong, but I don’t see how it could have been anything but a choice however indirect — between the two things I’ve mentioned: the floating or the swimming." But there's a third choice: "vigilance." Vigilance is antithetical to restful, dreamlike floating. It requires the full capacity of consciousness. Vigilance is also antithetical to swimming. Vigilance has no intention, and therefore no tension. It's ever prepared to snatch the affordances that drift its way, and so its will is the will of the sea. There are floaters far downstream from their dreams. There are strong swimmers who dredge up only the ego's sediment. But the vigilant see everything come their way. Vigilance gave the Rubicon to Caesar and Marengo to Napoleon. Vigilance gave me the best of wives through a chance word on a rainy day. This New Year's Eve, that same wife and I resolved to begin 2024 strong. I cleaned upstairs. She washed our sheets. We went to bed early. Too early. And when I finally felt tired, my body began to itch everywhere. Too much detergent. That's the nature of swimming and floating, of resolutions and resignations. One's will to swim is nothing against the will of the sea. We swam toward an impeccable January morning. By 3am I was tossing and turning and floating away from all we'd resolved. Vigilance pulled out my phone and found Baker Island with 30 minutes to spare. "The last place on earth that celebrates New Year"—safe harbor for midnight sinners and the hopeful-hapless. I kept vigilant over a cup of coffee as 2023 spent its final moments alone on that uninhabited island. Vigilance isn't a compromise between swimming and floating. You should resolve to the largest life your conviction will allow. You should fashion the iron will of a Caesar or Napoleon (Crone has a course on "Iron Will"). But as you develop your will, you may also develop an eye for what drifts your way. You may find, as I suspect the Greats did, that the impeccable iron will isn't your will at all, but the will of the sea.

”Can you save yourself if you lose your surfboard?” Unfortunately, no, I can’t.🏄♀️ I was taken aback by the response I received when I posed this question after a week of substantial swell. It was astonishing to hear someone express, “I can’t swim at all, but I trust someone will rescue me.” While it’s heartwarming to have faith in humanity🙏, it’s crucial to prioritize personal safety. Motivated by this encounter, I dived into a Surf Life Saving study on the matter, and the statistics were eye-opening. Improving swimming skills isn’t only about becoming an Olympic swimmer; it’s about ensuring safety and comfort, especially in scenarios where one may lose their board. Additionally, enhanced swimming abilities contribute to better paddling techniques. With this in mind, I’ve decided to launch another ocean swim program. This program is tailored specifically for surfers to boost their confidence,stamina and safety in the water. #watersafetyawareness #watersafety #surfswim #oceanswim #healthylifestyle

⚛️The science of swimming underwater - Waves are a drag Water is much denser than air, so you might assume that swimmers would benefit from using a technique that keeps as much of their body out of the water as possible. They don’t. When swimming, wave generation slows the swimmer down more than any other factor. But waves only form when an object moves at the boundary of two liquids of different densities, such as water and air during swimming. That is, waves that slow down a swimmer will not form underwater. ❔Well, okay, but on the surface, swimmers work with both arms and legs, and underwater, they work only with their legs - why is it faster? When you move underwater, undulating your lower body while maintaining streamlined upper body position, you create a whip-like effect. This quickly pushes the water back, propelling the swimmer forward according to Newton’s law of action and reaction. 💭Conclusions: 1️⃣When you swim calmly, there shouldn’t be a lot of splashing and waves around you 2️⃣ Practice your body position in the water (streamlined position) and wave-like kicks

🏊♀️💦 Today is National Swimming Pool Day! 💦🏊♂️ As we celebrate the joy of swimming pools, let's also prioritize safety, especially when it comes to our little ones. Here are some essential tips to ensure a safe and fun pool experience for children: 1️⃣ Supervision is Key: Always designate a responsible adult to actively watch children in and around the pool. Keep distractions like phones to a minimum. 2️⃣ Swim Lessons: Enroll kids in swimming lessons early to build their water confidence and teach basic skills. 3️⃣ Pool Barriers: Install proper barriers, covers, and alarms on and around your pool to prevent unsupervised access. 4️⃣ Floatation Devices: Use U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets or floatation devices for young or inexperienced swimmers. 5️⃣ Teach Pool Rules: Educate children on pool rules like no running, no diving in shallow water, and always asking permission before entering the pool. 6️⃣ Emergency Preparedness: Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills. Time can be critical in an emergency. Let's enjoy National Swimming Pool Day responsibly and keep our pools safe for everyone! 🌊☀️ #SwimmingPoolSafety #NationalSwimmingPoolDay
