I've been sitting here for so long trying to think of something interesting and swimming-related to say... I'm going swimming today. Is that interesting? No? Oh... 

Okay I found some interesting facts about swimming. Here we go.

• When elephants swim, they can use their trunks as a snorkel. Common sense, but SUPER adorable.

• The bikini was named after a U.S. nuclear testing site in the South Pacific. It was called Bikini Atoll.
• The oldest form of swimming used was the breaststroke. 
• Benjamin Franklin invented swim fins. Nice work, Ben.
• Swimming became an Olympic event in 1896.
• Synchronized swimming came to the Olympic games in 1984.
