What better represent summer than seeing kids swimming, whether it’s at their local pool or at the beach. Plus, kids never seem to tire of it. My daughter and her friends can spend hours and hours in a pool<\/a>, only coming out to eat, use the restroom, or if we forbid them from going back in. However, swimming is more than just a recreational pastime or a means of full-body exercise. When we used to take our daughter for lessons<\/a> at a community pool or at a sports center, several of the time slots were blocked out for swimming clubs. Now I know why…<\/p>\n

50 Top Swimming Cities<\/h3>\n

USA Swimming has just released a list of the 50 Top Swim Cities<\/a>, presented by Speedo. Apparently, the SF Bay Area is quite the hot spot for\u00a0the sport of competitive swimming. The San Jose to Santa Clara area of California ranked at number two while the east bay of San Francisco to Oakland ranked at number five. Did you know that San Jose to Santa Clara owns the most USA Swimming members per 1,000 people, has the largest multicultural make-up of any region, and that legends Mark Spitz and Donna de Varona grew up in the area? Did you know that San Francisco to Oakland owns the biggest collection of U.S. Masters (adult) swimmers and is also home to Olympic Gold Medalists Natalie Coughlin and Nathan Adrian, among many others?<\/p>\n

Here are some more facts about the top 10 swim cities:<\/p>\n
