The annual Sun Moon Lake Swimming Carnival was held Sunday in less-than-ideal weather. More than 18,000 participants, who were required to be fully vaccinated, braved the rain to take part in the event that’s already in its 40th year. With COVID and a typhoon looming, organizers initially faced a real dilemma about whether to go ahead with the event. Good thing the storm was never a threat.
Atlanta police officers swam after a fleeing suspect, arresting him in Tatum Lake.
The man was arrested and charged with reckless driving, fleeing and eluding, obstruction, theft by receiving stolen vehicle, driving while unlicensed, and possession of tools for the commission of a crime.

Growing up on the spectrum and with an intellectual impairment, Bailey Conlon felt like he was living in a world that wasn’t quite made for him, a world where he didn’t belong. Then he found swimming, and with it, he found his place, his purpose, his tribe – he feels he belongs.
Now, with the support of Swimming NZ, Bailey is heading to a training camp in Rotorua, specifically for swimmers with an intellectual impairment. With five days of training ahead of him, Bailey is looking forward to pushing himself in the water and, most importantly, connecting with people who understand him. Bailey has set a goal of making it to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
How long can a human swim NON-STOP for? #Ad Myself, @talisker, and @parley.tv intend to find out as we attempt to break the world record for the longest non-stop swim in history, without ANY help from a tide OR current. This swim for the sea is all in aid of raising awareness for the protection and preservation of the seas with Talisker x Parley, who are starting a new project to help protect sea kelp forests in Scotland. I’ll be doing this in the beautiful wild waters of Scotland, in incredible Loch Ness! The longest-ever swim done here is two lengths, but I will be attempting FIVE!
