    We talk extensively about aerodynamics and drag in cycling and many other sports, but did you know that water is over 800 times more dense than air? This means that reducing our drag whilst swimming is even more important! Mark is here with GTN’s top tips to get you more slippy!

    No running. No diving. No lifeguard on duty. No swimming after dark.

    Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the producers of M3GAN, high dive into the deep end of horror with the new supernatural thriller, Night Swim.

    Based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire, the film stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Ray Waller, a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his concerned wife Eve (Oscar® nominee Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin), teenage daughter Izzy (Amélie Hoeferle, this fall’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren, Fear the Walking Dead).

    Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades Eve that the new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.

    Night Swim is written and directed by Bryce McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) and is produced by James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Jason Blum, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wan’s Atomic Monster and by Ryan Turek for Blum’s Blumhouse.

    Ice-swimming enthusiasts in the Siberian city of Omsk welcomed winter with the season’s first freezing dip. Dozens of locals, who call themselves ‘walruses’, gathered at the bank of the Irtysh River to participate in an amateur race or simply to brave the 3C (37.4F) waters. The air temperature hovered at around zero (32F). The youngest member of the local ‘walruses’ club, 19-year-old Viktor, also celebrated the new season by setting his own personal record, staying in the water for five minutes straight.

    The parents of a former University of Cincinnati swimmer who was killed last year by an intoxicated driver told the man in court Monday that they forgive him, our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer report.

    But John Miller’s father asked why 51-year-old Donte Beenie left Miller to die on Gilbert Avenue in Walnut Hills after striking him with his car.

    “What kind of person does that?” Miller’s father, Kevin, said at Beenie’s sentencing Monday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

    “I forgive you, but I do not feel sorry for you,” he added.
