New pool construction in Smithtown #summer17

The skill of swimming has been known since prehistoric times. Drawings from the Stone Age were found in the "Cave of Swimmers" in the southwestern part of Egypt. Written references date from 2000 BC, including Gilgamesh, the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Bible, Beowulf, and other sagas.

People do more than swim in pools. The first swimming pool filtration system was installed in 1910..thank goodness!

One common insult in Greece was to say about somebody that he or she neither knew how to run nor swim.

Kangaroos can swim but when they do, their legs move independently from one another which is very different than how they move on land.
