  11. When you have a work errand that takes you in the direction of the beach and there aren't that many swimming days left, you throw your beach bag in the car.

    The surf and water temps dropped considerably from the weekend, but still. The sky was worth the detour all by itself (there was swimming).

  20. Went to the Hampstead mixed swimming pond this morning as the ladies’ pond is closed due to an overgrowth of blue-green algae. Several unsightly geezers to steer around, but otherwise perfectly good. The air is getting cooler… not quite sure I have the grit for colder weather outdoor swimming. #london #swimming #fitness #waterways #outdoors

  21. Cycling to work and a swim in the lake on the way. Air 18°C, water ~22°C.
    Yesterday, I went up one of the mountains (2nd picture), today I enjoy them again from a distance.

  22. Did a decent swim earlier, managed over half way in the 50m pool underwater and my front crawl is going good. Still have a bit of a niggle in my shoulder but going to see about some physio and hopefully it will improve too. #swimming #injuries #fitness #wellbeing #rehab

  26. On Dolphin Turbulence

    Dolphins are such fast and agile swimmers that, naturally, scientists have long wanted to understand how they swim so well. A recent study draws on numerical simulation to analyze the flow a dolphin creates when flapping its tail.

    The resulting flow is highly turbulent–researchers were only able to simulate up to a fraction of a dolphin’s actual Reynolds number–with both large-scale vortices and a cascade of smaller ones. The largest vortices, shown here in white, form on the upper and lower surface of the dolphin’s tail, then slide off the tail in a vortex ring. It’s these vortex rings, the researchers found, that provide the bulk of a dolphin’s thrust.

    The smaller-scale vortices, in contrast, get formed by the large vortices, and they make little to no contribution to the dolphin’s propulsion. Interestingly, these results suggest that we might be able to describe the propulsion of dolphins and other highly turbulent swimmers by focusing only on the largest scales in the flow.
