Each day an average of 10 unintentional drownings occur in the U.S., whereof 7 are adults. Despite their lack of swimming ability, many adults still venture out into lakes, oceans, rivers and swimming pools for recreational activities, and that’s why a new online swim community is launching today on www.swimmunity.com, to bring greater awareness to the need for adult swim lessons.

Looks a bit rough, especially when seen from the perspective of a struggling sex doll
They did that stunt one time here in the Faroes, serving live Norway lobster at a fish fair, resulting in a police report. Delicious or not, I would never. Ever. Video found here.

The Copenhagen 2011 international swimming blogosphere top summit went OK, me thinks, with me and Chris coming to a preliminary agreement about how to divide up the world between the two of us. Notice the coffee cups, and follow him on The Swim Brief.
