Who is celebrating this day? 6/24

Swim a Lap Day
Today (24th June, 2018) is...
Swim a Lap Day
Take a lap! Around the pool that is, Swim a Lap Day is a day to
get your snorkel and goggles on and patronize your local
swimming pool. Swimming is a great way of getting exercise,
especially for those who have health problems that make
traditional exercise difficult due to weakness or difficulty
moving. Swimming has been an activity humans have indulged in at
least as far back as 7,000 years ago, a time from which
depictions of this activity can be seen in stone age paintings.
People have been engaging in swimming for all these years for
many reasons, with recreation being by far the most common among
them. Swimming is, in fact, ranked among the most popular forms
of physical activity, even among otherwise sedentary
individuals. The buoyant nature of water makes it much easier on
those with physical limitations to get out and have a good time,
and the act of coursing through the water is often described as
feeling a bit like flying!
Swimming has also been shown to be excellent for your health
Those engaged in swimming tend to engage in the activity for
longer than other forms of exercise, and the act of swimming
often engages the entire body while moving through the water
This also results in the body drawing on large supplies of
oxygen during almost all stages of the activity Other benefits
seen from this activity include a reduction in stress related
illnesses by reduction of the same, and it can even improve
posture!
Swimming is also commonly participated in as a competitive sport
and artistic display. Whether it’s simple speed swimming or
synchronised water based dance performances, swimming has found
it’s way into many sport venues, including the Olympic Games.
Due to it’s unique engagement of muscle groups, swimming
segments are also commonly included in multi-segmented sport
competitions, including triathlons and Iron Man competitions.
One of the most ancient uses for swimming is it’s involvement in
many types of employment. In Japan there are abalone and pearl
divers who spend many hours each day engaging in swimming to
impressive depths to gather these riches. Underwater welding is
another incredibly profitable, and incredibly dangerous field
that involves swimming a great deal. Whether it’s for research
or construction, swimming continues to be an important part of
modern industry.
Military applications of swimming go back quite a long way,
especially in those engagements requiring infiltration.
Especially at night, it’s difficult to see someone who is
swimming underwater, and many cities and forts had
vulnerabilities at the areas where waste was washed out of the
location. Everyone loves pirates, and a common practice to
taking a ship was to slip through the water from a distance, so
as not to reveal the presence of their vessel. They’d then
stealthily slip up the side of the target, and take the ship by
surprise!
There are many health benefits to swimming, and it’s an activity
especially encouraged for those suffering from degenerative
diseases, and ones that impede mobility such as arthritis. It’s
low impact nature allows those whose movement would otherwise be
restricted to engage in a full body workout without causing
further damage. Even those who are of advanced age can find an
ability to remain active in this sport!
Due to it’s full body nature, this sport is also excellent for
building cardiovascular and respiratory health, increasing how
much oxygen the body is able to take advantage, as well as how
much blood the heart is able to move with each stroke.
These are just a few of the reasons to get out and get swimming.
Swim a Lap Day reminds us that any activity is better than
remaining sedentary, and a single lap is a great way to get a
start on a healthful and engaging exercise that can involve the
whole family. Grab those fins and get swimming!

I wish I could celebrate today! Our 30 year old 12x18 above
ground pool "went" 2 years ago - the year I retired. What with
one thing and another (our dog became ill, passed, and then we
got another), and new town laws about putting in pools, etc,
etc, we haven't replaced it yet. We were so hoping to do it this
year, but I think my car is "going". We'll try to replace it
this summerif we can (next summer, most definitely), but
meanwhile...Happy Swim A Lap Day, folks - swim one for me!
