Active People 3
Swimming is another activity that is supposed to be good for you. This photo was taken in 1977 at an international swim meet in St. John's. I just happened to be visiting the city at the time and, because I was shooting photos for the Grand Falls Advertiser at the time, was given a press pass which enabled me to get close to the action. I shot both b & w and colour film, and several of the b & w images were subsequently published in the newspaper. I made this photo of Gord MacDonald, a team mate of mine when I swam on the Memorial University Swim Team.
I spotted two young adults getting dangerously close to the waves breaking on the rocks in Torbay. I was worried that one or both of them would be swept into the harbour, but they would run away as the waves approached.
I remember riding my bicycle everywhere when I was a kid including a 10 mile ride on gravel road to my favourite swimming hole. I didn't think of it as exercise - just transportation, I have many fond memories of bike rides.
