The most authentic touch is naturally a swim in person. In fact, many well-known rivers, lakes and seas have no lack of traces of people swimming. Although it is not common for safety and hygiene reasons, we still collected some different swimming stories to see what swimming in these waters is like. Experience. For people in Wuhan, there should be many memories of swimming in East Lake. When I was a child, my dad would take me to the lake to cool off the summer heat naturally. Jumping into the lake with a swimming ring, you can feel the occasional fiddle of water plants and sand slipping through your feet, and you can smell some grassy plants in the lake when you swim. Later, when I grew up, the control of the lake became stricter, and the number of “wild swimming” gradually decreased, and some water activities were replaced by water activities. The “Jumping in the East Lake” activity at the end of summer is a ritual to say goodbye to the summer. People rode into the lake one by one in a cheering, and they can also fall into the lake freely in the most beautiful posture. It seems a little nonsense, but it precisely records the love of Wuhan people for this lake. Now every time I drive by, I think of the simplest happiness of those hot childhoods. In 2010, I visited the West Lake once. At that time, I was traveling to Hangzhou with my wife. A few local friends asked us to row a boat. Halfway through the rowing, there was nothing special to do, so we stopped to chat. A friend suggested: It’s better to have a “skin kiss” with West Lake. “? So everyone undressed and jumped into the water. It was early June, and the water temperature was neither high nor low. Although the water of the lake is not deep, it can’t be pushed to the bottom. I heard that the bottom of the lake has accumulated silt for thousands of years, and it is particularly trapped (but there are no water monkeys). The water quality is good, but because my hometown is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and I often visit the Yangtze River, it is generally more pleasant to visit the Yangtze River. We only swam for a while, we were found by the patrol speedboat and sent back to the boat, and we were educated by the police. A local friend later explained that although the guardrails were not visible by the West Lake, it was still quite safe, because there were many plainclothes lifeguards and security guards “ambushed” nearby. Once they saw the water, they would come out to dissuade them immediately. In the first winter of coming to Beijing, going to the Summer Palace ice skating is what I look forward to most. The anti-freeze treatment before the cold weather has made me feel strong enough. I didn’t expect that the grandfather and aunt swimming in the Summer Palace are the anti-freezing king who plays with the temperature in the palm of the hand. In the river course of Nanruyimen, the bottom of the river can be seen from the part where the ice surface is knocked on. I saw a few old people walking on the shore and jokingly plunged into a specially opened “swim lane”. The relaxed posture and the soft warm sun also seemed to give me the illusion that it was not too cold. It was not until a strong wind blew that the unstoppable chills made me recognize reality. Later, the old people after the exercise told me that in fact, although the hands and feet would freeze quickly under the water, they did not feel particularly cold because the body was moving all the time. When they came ashore after swimming, they were exposed to the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero, and even their hair quickly formed icicles. Therefore, they also specially formed a winter swimming team to run and exercise together after landing to relax menstruation and invigorate blood. In the summer 5 years ago, I always went to Lingshui Lake for swimming. Many people from Nanning would deliberately drive to Wuming County to find this natural swimming pool. The lake is warm in winter and cool in summer. It stays at around 23°C all year round, so you won’t feel uncomfortable after getting into the water. On the contrary, it is like being baptized by a wave of water before swimming. Lingshui Lake has always been known as “Bi Liuli”. The lush and lush trees on both sides of the lake cover the clear and clear water. It is really a pleasure for people with good water to swim here for two hours. However, I heard that in order to protect the ecological environment in the small county and the involvement rate was too high, it was no longer open to the outside world. To me, the little thing of swimming is more like a miniature “jianghu” of summer entertainment and social synthesis. When I was in high school, I often made appointments with my classmates to swim in Houhai during the summer vacation. The water is not deep, so I can get my head out of the water by tiptoeing. Compared with the swimming pool under the dumplings, Houhai is our open-air summer resort. I also became a rich man fishing, catching shrimps and clams in this “sea area”. Although the water is not too deep, the underwater environment is more complicated. Leaving the stone embankment, I slowly explored the depth with my toes. The mud and green moss on the bottom of the lake were smooth and greasy, and the water plants stuffed between the toes squirmed like a loach, and the unbearable itch made me stagger into the water. I started to swim forward, the water filled my chest, the rapid heartbeat lingering in my ears due to my breath, and while I was distracted, I was photographed underwater by the waves suddenly rolled up by the ferry. After the carp stood up, he found that he had an unexpected joy-a handful of large clams, just at a competitive age, immediately started the clam-touching competition. Now that the water level has also risen after the revetment is built, this wild interest is lost. When I was young, the Jialing River was near our home. In my impression, there was a very gentle embankment, and the smooth pebbles stretched down the river. A large area was framed by floating marks. The water level was not very high, and adults could be stable. Stand up. Before I go to the swimming pool, my grandpa will take me here to play. I set in the swimming ring and can float steadily without exerting any effort. Grandpa tied a rope to the swimming ring and let it go and let me drift down the water for a while. Pull me back again. So, it seemed to me like a mini rafting. The funny thing is that I was not afraid of water at the time, but that the fish in the river would come to eat me. But now, whether it is water quality, embankment environment or river safety, it is not suitable for swimming in the river anymore. This kind of memory is more of a joke after a meal. The winter three years ago should have been the coldest winter in Fuzhou. During the heavy snow festival, the cold air keeps going south and the temperature is close to 0℃, but the water temperature of the Minjiang River remains at about 20℃. So even in winter, swimming in the Minjiang River can only be called spring swimming or autumn swimming, but it takes courage to undress and enter the water in the cold wind. Winter is the time when the water quality of the Minjiang River is the best. I will launch it on the first or 15th day of the lunar calendar when the tide is high. I will swim in the warm river water, step on the rich “special products” carried by the tidal flat, and dry my body after a long swim. Sitting on the edge of the river sunbathing, happiness overflows all over the body, and every pore seems to be reborn. But now the hydrological environment is complex, and the two daily high and low tide packages given by the East China Sea tides are prohibitive. The water quality is no longer suitable for swimming in the lower river. People are more cycling and walking in Minjiang parks along the line. Do you have such swimming experience?

(Photo: iExplore) Not only beautiful and peaceful, this island also owns a mysterious lake called Jellyfish Lake – Jellyfish Lake. Until now, science has not been able to explain why there are millions of jellyfish living here. (Photo: Flick) Jellyfish Lake is up to 12,000 years old, and probably has existed since the ice age. About 12,000 years ago, when sea levels were at their peak, seawater flooded the area and filled the lowlands to form present-day Jellyfish Lake. Until the glaciers recede, the jellyfish and fishes have no place to live, they just freely grow in the lake, eat all the algae and gradually develop into unique jellyfish species, creating unique species of jellyfish. so the ecosystem is very diverse. (Photo: ABC News) (Photo: The Travel) There are only 2 types of jellyfish living here: golden jellyfish (scientific name is Mastigias papua) and moon jellyfish (lunar jellyfish – scientific name is Aurelia), the most crowded is the yellow jellyfish. They need sunlight to grow and survive, so they will move from east to west in the direction of sunrise and sunset. Until dark, they will dive deep to the bottom of the lake to rest, and so on this cycle repeats throughout the jellyfish’s life. (Photo: iExplore) To get to Jellyfish Lake, from the pier, visitors will have to cross a rather long slope. Right at the right time to stop to rest, the dark blue Jellyfish Lake also appeared in front of everyone. To observe jellyfish in the lake, visitors are only allowed to swim, snorkel and mask. Everyone has a strange feeling when swimming and interacting with countless jellyfish around: It’s quite ticklish, but it’s also very enjoyable. (Photo: Lonely Planet) (Photo: Reddit) (Photo: Viator) Although both species of jellyfish have stinging cells, they are generally not strong enough to cause injury to humans, so swimming in the lake is safe. This is not a big obstacle for adventurous travelers. Because the opportunity to swim in a space filled with golden jellyfish like this is something in life that not everyone can enjoy. Therefore, despite having to pay a lot of money, but every visitor coming here is very eager to experience swimming with these special lovely jellyfish.

With a length of 25 meters, the transparent outdoor swimming pool is designed by HAL Architects. It is made of acrylic and can hold up to 148,000 gallons of water or about 560,240 liters of water. The penetrating swimming pool hangs between two high-rise buildings in England. With four glass sides, the pool is located right next to the rooftop bar and spa services. Once opened, the pool in the sky will become the only place to soak in this way in the UK. This swimming pool not only gives swimmers a breathtaking view of the parliament building, London Eye, the city skyline of London, but also an enjoyable experience floating in the air. Tens of meters from the ground, nothing but a transparent layer of glass makes swimmers feel like they are looking down the depths below. It is known that transporting the bool from Colorado, across the Atlantic has been an adventure, but it is more difficult to design and install it between two new residential buildings. Thanks to modern technology and architectural innovations, Sky Pool is able to process the natural movements of the two 10-story buildings with which it connects. According to HAL Architects, it is not rigidly connected at both ends; it can slide from side to side while still retaining watertight integrity. “The vision for Sky Pool comes from a desire to cross the boundaries of construction and engineering capabilities, Ecoworld Ballymore wants to do something that has never been done before,” said Ballymore President – developer of Ambassador Gardens. . “We also wanted to cross boundaries on every aspect of the design, the transparent structure of the swimming pool that is the result of many significant advances in technology over the past decade. The experience in the pool will give off a feeling.” unique, like floating in the air in central London, “added President Ballymore. The unique Sky Pool is scheduled to open on May 19, 2021.

The penetrating swimming pool hangs between two high-rise buildings in England Transparent swimming pool is located between two apartment buildings in Ambassador Gardens, Nine Elms of London, England. The designer named the project ‘swimming pool in the sky’ true to the feeling when the experience of swimming in a transparent swimming pool hovered about 35 meters from the ground. Swimming pool is 25 meters long, 3.3 meters deep, frames made of Acrylic, can hold up to 148,000 gallons of water, equivalent to about 560,240 liters of water. With four glass sides, the pool is located right next to the rooftop bar and spa services. Once opened, the pool in the sky will become the only place to soak in this way in the UK. The ‘pool in the sky’ not only gives swimmers a breathtaking view of the parliament building, London Eye, London city skyline, but also an enjoyable experience floating in the air. Tens of meters from the ground, nothing but a transparent layer of glass makes swimmers feel like they are looking down the depths below. It is known that people created swimming pools from Colorado, USA, then transported by water across the Atlantic as a long and challenging adventure. But then, the design and installation between two high-rise buildings was even more difficult. Two buildings connected to the swimming pool are subject to common impacts including wind shakes and ground subsidence. But thanks to modern technology and architectural innovations, the swimming pool is able to handle the natural movements of two 10-story buildings that it sits in between. According to the design company, the first two sections of the pool are not rigid connections that can slide from side to side while retaining watertight integrity. Chairman Ballymore, developer of Ambassador Gardens, said: “Creating a pool in the sky comes from a desire to cross the boundaries of buildability as well as technology. We also want to cross boundaries on every aspect of the design, the transparent structure of the swimming pool the result of many significant advances in technology over the past decade. swimming will bring a unique feeling, as if floating in the air in central London “. Expected, the swimming pool will open on May 19.

The outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop of the 77-storey Address Beach Resort hotel, Dubai, UAE, located at an altitude of 294 meters above the ground, was completed in February 2020. On March 24, the Guinness World Records Organization officially recognized the title “tallest outdoor infinity pool in a building” for this luxury facility. The swimming pool has a surface area of ​​about 560 square meters. In which, the swimming pool is 409 m2, the sunbathing area is 93 m2 and a typical submerged area has an area of ​​57 m2. Estimated swimming pool volume is about 500 m3. The swimming pool is about 75 m long, 1.2 m deep at its deepest point and 1 m in the shallow point. You will admire the stunning views of the Dubai skyline as you swim in this 77th-floor swimming pool, from Bluewater Island, Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab Hotel, World Islands, Dubai Marina to the pier. Dubai boat, coastline, Arabian Gulf … Thanks to the location on the terrace, guests can enjoy relaxing moments in the sunbathing beds arranged along the pool or relax in the shade of the tents. The two sides of the swimming pool are the newly opened Zeta Seventy Seven rooftop restaurant. This restaurant serves Asian dishes and nice views from the dining area. Address Beach Resort is built on the last site of the Jumeirah beach walkway in the Dubai Marina residential area. The hotel is part of a resort developed by Al Ain Holding, which includes 217 hotel rooms, 443 serviced apartments and 478 residential apartments. The 77-storey hotel in the twin towers was opened to the public since December last year.

From Lucretia Gather, SWR “One two Three …!” The three-year-old Elian jumps again and again from the edge of the pool into his mother’s arms, turns a short lap in the water with his armbands and gets out again, ready for the next jump. His parents and a family friend rented a swimming school “Flip” in Meisenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, and a whole indoor pool for themselves for two hours. “It’s really great,” says Elian’s mother Nina Köberlein-Bareiß, “not exactly cheap, but we’ll just take a break.” The water fun costs 75 euros per hour.

Pumps have to keep running

The swimming pool is operated by Stefan Nerbas, and in addition to the one in Meisenheim, he also runs a second one in Bad Kreuznach. Both are owned by the Kreuznach Diakonie Foundation. The pools have been empty for months, only water therapy for people with disabilities is still offered here from time to time. But the fixed costs remain. Nerbas calculates that the maintenance of a bathroom alone costs 10,000 euros per month. The water must be kept clean, the technology must continue to run. “I can’t just switch off the pumps,” says Nerbas.

By renting the swimming pool by the hour, pool operator Stefan Nerbas wants to pour some money into the empty cash register. Image: Lucretia Gather / SWR

Grant business swimming pool

According to the “Bäderatlas” published by the German Society for Bathing in Germany, there are around 9,000 swimming pools and public bathing areas. The majority of them, around 6,000, are run by municipalities. Sports economist Lutz Thieme from the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences is leading a federally funded research project that is collecting reliable data on pools in Germany for the first time. Almost every bathroom that is operated privately is dependent on municipal subsidies, according to the expert. “There are perhaps a handful of private investors in Germany who manage to operate a bathroom at break even,” says Thieme. Sooner or later, the high maintenance costs will bring every investor to their knees, and subsidies from cities or municipalities will be necessary. Thieme fears that the Corona crisis will further worsen the situation of bathroom operators in Germany. Because if the financial strength of the municipalities decreases, they are forced to make savings. Since the field of sport is not one of their compulsory tasks, the red pencil is often applied precisely there, says the sports economist. “And what’s most expensive in sports? The swimming pools.”

Many closings feared

Christian Mankel from the German Society for Bathing also predicts that many pools that are dependent on municipal subsidies could get into trouble. He fears that the direct and indirect consequences of the corona pandemic could lead to a large number of pool closures in the coming years. Mankel calls for an open perspective and would also like the municipalities to acknowledge that baths are an indispensable part of public services and that they are financed.

Many bankruptcies among sauna operators

Sauna operators are also suffering from the corona pandemic. The managing director of the German Sauna Association, Martin Niederstein, says: “We fear that a large number of the smaller, private sauna businesses will have to close permanently.” 45 percent of public sauna baths in Germany are run by the municipality, more than half are privately owned. The challenges in this sector are similar to those in the baths: Due to the personnel and energy-intensive cost structure, it is particularly difficult to run an economically successful sauna business without municipal subsidies. Well-known operators should have already closed due to insolvency. The second lockdown, which has lasted since November 2nd, falls in the middle of the main sauna season. Despite government economic aid, the financial reserves of many saunas have been exhausted. If they are allowed to reopen, it will be difficult to compensate for the loss of income in the summer. The bathing and sauna landscape in Germany will probably be thinned out after the Corona crisis. There are enough people willing to swim: The swimming pool rental in Meisenheim is well received. Operator Nerbas says he was surprised by the huge interest himself. “We put the call on the Internet and within 24 hours the whole of April was booked out.”

Mr. Scott Kelly while living on the ISS Station. Photo: NYT In a study published in the journal Circulation on March 29, scientists found that during 340 days in space, Mr. Kelly’s heart was reduced in size even though he still exercised hard for 6 days. week. Luckily, the smaller heart did not seem to have any effect on the health of Mr. Kelly when he returned to Earth in 2016. This finding has added to the list of the types of transformations the human body has to undergo in an unstable environment of gravity. Astronauts also tend to have head edema, eyeballs crushing, leg shrinkage, and bones become more brittle. According to the New York Times, Dr. Benjamin D. Levine, study author and professor of internal medicine at the Southwestern Medical Center at the University of Texas (USA), said: “Kelly’s heart has changed to adapts to reduced gravity conditions. It does not have any dysfunction. He is still healthy. Without gravity, the heart doesn’t need to pump blood fully, and like any other muscle, it is altered by decreasing the intensity of the activity. For Mr. Scott Kelly, the shrinking phenomenon still occurs regardless of the regular exercise 6 days / week on the ISS. This regimen has been shown to be effective in reducing brittle bones and reducing muscle mass. After 340 days in space, Mr. Kelly’s heart weight dropped by about 27%, from 190 grams to 140 grams. Mr. Kelly shared that his body also underwent some other changes, such as bone loss, and these phenomena have almost returned to normal. However, the miniature heart phenomenon could be a concern for future missions to Mars. Based on the experiences of Mr. Kelly and other astronauts on the ISS, Dr. Levine thinks that the upcoming visitors to Mars will remain in good health. However, problems can arise if an astronaut is injured, becomes ill and cannot exercise, or if the exercise equipment is damaged. With weaker hearts, they can be dizzy and faint as they step onto the red planet after months of weightless travel. Swimmer Benoit Lecomte. Photo: CNN In the study, Levine and his colleagues compared the heart of astronaut Scot Kelly to that of long-distance swimmer Benoit Lecomte, when he tried to swim across the Pacific in 2018. The buoyancy in the water has the same impact on the body as the weightless environment. Lecomte athletes spend most of the day in the horizontal position: 8 hours of swimming and 8 hours sleeping on a support boat. Scientists think that extended swimming hours will be strenuous enough to maintain Mr. Lecomte’s heart size. But instead, it shrinks at a rate nearly as fast as Mr. Kelly’s time in space. After more than 159 days, the Lecomte athlete abandoned the plan after swimming two thirds of the planned 5,650 miles because the boat was destroyed by a storm. Through ultrasound, it was found that his left ventricle was about 28 grams lighter. The left ventricle is the heart’s largest and most powerful chamber, pumping blood to the aorta and throughout the body. Dr. Levine expressed surprise when she learned the results. “I thought his heart would get bigger. That is a huge amount of training ”. In an interview, Benoit Lecomte estimated his heart rate could be below 100 while swimming, and described the intensity of long-distance swimming as walking briskly, or running very slowly. Now, the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) can design better training programs for astronauts. In space, Mr. Scott Kelly has been exercising 6 days a week, 30-40 minutes walking on the treadmill or cycling. In addition, he also uses a resistance machine to lift weights. “This practice regime is quite strenuous. I have to push weights quite hard. The weight is definitely heavier than I can lift at home, ”said Kelly, now retired at NASA, in an interview. Dr. Benjamin D. Levine said there is another study to track the hearts of 13 astronauts before and after 6 months on the space station. This unpublished study will provide a broader amount of data.

Sharks are pictures that haunt the minds of many people swimming or rowing in the ocean. Sharks are often portrayed in movies as merciless blood hunters, but in fact it is also a very intelligent and curious creature. Taylor Cunningham, a marine biologist and shark conservationist, and a shark safety instructor, shares skills in dealing with the fear known as the shark. Study local sharks During certain times of the year, some sharks get closer to shore in the warm coastal waters. In Hawaii, for example, tiger sharks swim near shore in late summer and early fall to give birth. Therefore, it is very helpful to learn about local sharks in order to choose water activities wisely. Wear a mask and fins when swimming For professional swimmers, there is no need to wear a mask and fins every time you step into the sea. But if you swim long distances and are worried that you might encounter sharks, you should use this device. Cunningham said both of these devices help swimmers become more aware of their surroundings, the key to being safe in the ocean. Humans and sharks can still live peacefully. Leave the white and yellow bikinis at home It may be hard to believe, but the color of your clothes and equipment is important to sharks. “Sharks have monochrome vision, so colors like white, yellow or neon should be avoided when swimming or diving because these colors stand out in the blue ocean. Instead, choose darker colors, like black and blue. bar to minimize unwanted attention from the shark ” Cunningham explained. Don’t worry if you get cut or scratched – sharks don’t respond to human blood There is a long-held belief that sharks are a species with an excellent sense of smell that is sensitive to human blood. Cunningham said: “Sharks do not react to human blood or scents. Scientists have done studies in which they found that sharks have minimal or no response in the brain to humans. “ Act like a predator, constantly checking your surroundings By constantly spinning and looking around while underwater, you are communicating that you are a predator, not a prey. Being like a predator makes you less likely to get approached by a shark. Make eye contact if you see a shark When seeing a shark, many people’s instincts are to swim as fast as they can in the other direction, but this may be announcing that you are prey and should be chased. With the confidence of making eye contact with a shark, you are asserting yourself as a predator. However, it is necessary to have flexibility because there can be many sharks at the same time. So, after your initial eye contact, look for the other sharks around. Create the necessary distance from the shark If a shark is approaching, use your fins, GoPro or any solid object you have on you to create some distance between you and the animal. Then you are sending a quantity of water and some things towards them. They will probably pick up, collide and turn away … Slowly step back after making eye contact, but avoid splashing and making noise. The reason you prove yourself as an underwater predator is to tell the shark that you are not on their menu. Splashing, yelling, and rioting on the surface can make them think you are a sick or injured bird or fish – which are on a shark’s favorite menu. Understanding the shark will be less afraid when it comes to “collision” with the shark. Note the shark’s body language Sharks are not inherently aggressive, but they can win territory or compete, Cunningham explained. Sharks will use their body language before confrontation. If you notice a shark releasing pectoral fins (like when a cat arches its back) or opening its mouth (like when a dog growls) slowly step back, give it space, and get out of the water. Remember sharks swim and ignore humans Most people assume that if there are sharks in the water, they will feel them, but in fact, Cunningham says sharks swim and ignore everyone, just like any other fish. Over the years, drone footage has shown sharks within the reach of swimmers without their knowledge. Above all, don’t panic! The key to overcoming any encounter with a shark is acting like a predator. Sharks do not consider humans as prey. Usually, sharks completely ignore humans in the ocean. While it may seem impossible to stay calm when dealing with sharks, it is not. You just need to know a little bit about shark behavior and learn to react appropriately if you encounter it while swimming. “Falled coconuts kill more people than sharks, but in fact, no one is afraid of falling coconuts” – Cunningham’s hand analyzed. The ocean is the home of marine life, including sharks. Respect for the ocean, the common home of sharks and marine life “We need to understand that the ocean is home to a lot of wildlife, not just sharks. Ocean infiltration is human invading the house of marine species. Therefore, it is the responsibility of man to be aware of his or her impacts on the oceans and wildlife or the conditions that may affect them ”- shark conservationist Taylor Cunningham emphasized.
