1. no swimming pools
ex Oleh Chadash   (05.16.19)
I was a swimmer, used to swim everyday.

When I did alyah, I asked at mercaz klitah: are there swimming pools here for training?

Their answer:

- "Are you crazy? You're in need of a psychiatrist! Don't you see where you are?"

This is what they said to me.
2. swimming is good for your health.

once upon a time .... (I read in a history book):

Begin was on a ship. The political atmosphere was tense, it was to burst a civil war. Someone threw a bomb at the ship where Begin was.

Then, Begin jumped into the water and swam to the beach. This is how he saved his life.

What the book did not tell is how he swam: front crawl, backstroke, butterfly or breaststroke? I don't know.

It was in Tel Aviv?
