I came across a phenomenal infographic today about pools and swimming!  Love seeing all these swimming pool facts in one fabulous graphic!

• There are 10.6 million pools in the US!  That’s a lot of water!
• 17% of people pee in pools.  How in the world did they figure that out?!  haha
• 65% of Americans don’t know how to swim.  Just another reason why we are so big about sharing swimming safety tips!
• The cannonball is the most popular way to jump in a pool.  Well, of course!

Here are more great swimming and swimming pool facts!

• Porcupines float on water.
• Benjamin Franklin invented swimming fins out of wood when he was a teenager.
• Niagara Falls could fill all swimming pools in the US, in only 3 days!
• One hour of vigorous swimming will burn up to 650 calories.  That is more calories than walking or biking.
• The average person produces 25,000 quarts of saliva in their lifetime… enough spit to fill two swimming pools!  You know you wanted to know that factoid!
