Swimmer's Daily

  • Former Olympian swimmer Cullen Jones talks with Caylee Kirby about what swimmers can do to stay in the water this summer.

  • Lifeguard Dan’s Water Safety Wednesday tip: don’t swim while it is thundering or lightning outside. Swimming during thunderstorms is unsafe for those both in the pool and on the pool deck. Come back next week for more tips!

  • Kids in Tulsa are getting the chance to learn how to swim for free. The lessons are offered at the Lacy Park Pool through a partnership with the YWCA, the Red Cross, and Tulsa Parks.

  • With most pools closed, parents and kids seem to be okay with cooling off at a splash pad.

  • The Maryland Freedom Swim is an event that celebrates the recreational use of Delmarva’s waters. 325 athletes gathered in Cambridge, Maryland to swim the width of the Choptank River. This 2 mile swim in open water is a challenge for those hearty enough to attempt it, but well worth the effort!

  • There’s concern about a lifeguard shortage in Canada and if beaches and pools will be kept safe as people head out to cool off during the summer.

  • On Mondays and Tuesdays, pools run by Indy Parks and Recreation are closed due to a shortage of lifeguards.

    It’s a problem Indy Parks has been facing since the hiring season started.

    One expert says the difficulty of becoming a lifeguard could be a reason the shortage is continuing.

    Many people aren’t even able to pass the test to become one, according to Jordan Elder, the senior manager of aquatics at Indy Parks.

  • Recco scores 12sec from time and retains its title with a shootout win 

    Pro Recco is crowned for the 10th time after another thrilling Champions League final, decided by penalties for the second time after 2019. Host Novi Beograd was close as it led 11-9 after three periods and Nikola Jaksic’s 6th goal 50 seconds from time put the Serbs ahead once more. Still, Gergo Zalanki hit his 5th in the evening 12 seconds before the buzzer to save the game to a 13-13 tie and a shootout. And there, at 3-3, the two heroes lined up for the last shots – Jaksic hit the crossbar, Zalanki sent the ball home as well as his team-mates to the seventh if not 10th heaven. His former club Ferencvaros finished third, after downing Brescia – this game was another 26-goal epic, landed by the Magyars with 14-12.
