[Online] Swimming: Why? Why Not?

This will be an online Zoom meeting. Please RSVP on our Meetup for this event to get access to the Zoom link. See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions

Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm. You can join in to the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social. After 12:30 pm, we will also have an extended discussion for half an hour, until 1:00 pm.

Is the 'Australian crawl' really Australian? Why do people cut holes in the ice to swim? What are the barriers to adults learning to swim?

Our featured speaker on this topic will be Toronto Oasis participant Helen Jefferson Lenkskyj. Helen will talk about swimming's history, issues of access and safety, and the growing popularity of 'cold water swimming' since COVID lockdowns. She will share some of her favourite books about swimming, and conclude with her own experiences in the water in Canada and Australia, ending with a short video of her favourite snorkelling spot in Sydney.

Please RSVP on meetup.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones!
