Swedish Boys' Activities: Sports--Swimming



Figure 1.-- Another popular sport in Sweden is swimming, although until indoor poos were built, the season was rather limited. The oldest swimming club in the world was founded in Uppsala in 1796 and still exist. The photo shows a little Swedish swimming school. Unfortunately the picture is undated; perhaps it was taken in 1930s.
