Some fishermen in Washington state can be forgiven for their very frazzled reactions after a pod of killer whales swam right under their rowboat. A Facebook video of the close encounter near Anderson Island in Puget Sound is making the rounds on social media after it was initially posted in December. The first few seconds of the footage show a distant pod of orcas leaping out of the water. The crab fisherman sitting in the rowboat, including cameraman Steven Sloan, seem pretty exhilarated to have stumbled on the animals. Then, the killer whales get closer. And closer. And then they disappear. See…
Housework, gardening or ambling around the golf course are not enough to stay fit and people must work up sweat if they want to avoid an early death, a new study suggests. Taking part in vigorous exercise for at least 45 minutes a week is essential for health and guidelines should be changed to help people realise they must work harder, say researchers.

Horton revealed an awkward moment where he had to ask Grant Hackett how he had fared in the 400m freestyle final earlier this week. Hackett -…
James Magnussen is pissed off, giant killer Cameron McEvoy is now the hunted and 16-year-old wunderkind Kyle Chalmers is the new hunter. Welcome to the new world order of Australian sprinting. McEvoy extended his recent dominance over the two-times world champion Magnussen by gunning down the sprint king in the final strokes of the 100m freestyle on Wednesday night. It is the third time in their last four bouts that McEvoy has delivered the knockout blow, but interestingly it was the first time the younger 200m specialist had done so by coming from behind. McEvoy hit the wall in 48.06s to…

Floyd Mayweather Jr. took his training for his upcoming megafight against Manny Pacquiao to the pool. Mayweather posted an Instagram video of himself doing boxing exercises in the pool before going for laps to swim with his strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, a former member of Pacquiao’s corner, overseeing his training.
