Why do I always like swimming in green water?

Let me stand at the top of the 10 meter platform, and the dizzy vortex is enough for me to climb down the narrow steps nervously. But once I get to the bottom and my legs are not frozen, you can let me run a few laps in the water. Especially when the water is dark green.

The diving competition in Rio Olympic Games will not be remembered for Britain's first springboard gold medal, nor will it be remembered for China dominating the highest springboard. In fact, the swimming pool where fearless Olympic athletes have been diving has changed from shiny blue to mysterious emerald color. The organizer didn't give the reason for the change, only said that there was no risk to the health of the contestants. Nevertheless, British superstar diver Tom Daley tweeted that the swimming pool was closed for training on Friday, and the staff of Rio 20 16 Olympic Games did not explain this.

Apart from the obvious health problems, I think it looks very attractive. Don't get me wrong, I won't fly to Brazil, just take a dip in the swimming pool, which is obviously not its original intention. But there is a kind of green turbid water that makes me want to take off my clothes and jump into the water. Whatever it is. Blue sea, black lake, quiet winding river. If it's warm outside, there's an easy way to get into the water. I want to go in. Six summers ago, I became fascinated by the hampstead Mixed Pond in London.

Open from May to September, this quiet oasis in the north of downtown is guarded by lifeguards, but it has a pleasant rural feeling. The basic change shed, a short concrete pier and 80 meters deep water lurk barracuda, perch and various amphibians. But it's not just sticky creatures A large number of birds live on its edge and surface. Just to name a few, Moore hens, goo goo and big crowned owls. When I entered the pond, I felt as if I had become a part of nature. Walking along the river bank or lake, birds will disperse and fish will fly away. Once you enter the water, you are one of them. I swam around with the birds, taking care of their cubs happily, enjoying myself in the refracted sunshine and being dragged around by fish.

I like the outdoor swimming pool or Lido, but when you increase the length of the swimming pool, you won't feel this way. They are swimming for more serious. Green water means exploring freely, walking with your most uneven breaststroke, without worrying about being overtaken by triathletes in training. It's not just the time spent with nature that makes green water so attractive. This is a brand-new landscape. It took me two and a half years to trace back to Roger Dickens' groundbreaking travel book Water Dog published in 1999. The late British naturalist was immersed in a "swimmer's trip across England". "Guo" is the key word The deacon said "on the spot". When you are in the green water of a river or pond, you will see angles and scenery that you can't see on land.

I have been floating on the high drainage channel in Norfolk, East England. I can't see the vast fields around me. The sky is an impossible dome. I looked up at the Jura Mountains on the west coast of Scotland. I looked at the swaying hair of a seaweed forest on the remote beach of Silly Island through goggles. Only the brilliant green water gave me such an opportunity. There is also peace in rivers, bays or ponds. Your body only cares about survival. This moment can't be without. Following Deacon through the green of the lakes, ponds and rivers he visited helped alleviate the anxiety I suffered for most of my life.

This is not a panacea, but when I am in the wild, on the open water, I am there. This is what I strive for on land, but this feeling can only be really obtained by swimming. Of course, you need to be careful when you enter the darkness. It is not advisable to swim alone. You need to study any section of water before swimming, and you should avoid the quarry pool, because the sudden drop in depth will lead to freezing point temperature. Only stay for a few minutes at a time. Don't be proud. It takes months for the body to get used to swimming in open water. Who can stay the longest without a medal? If you follow these simple rules, the fun of green mysterious water can be anyone's. The luminous lights in Rio de Janeiro swimming pool may not look attractive, but try to explore more natural water bodies with similar colors there as inspiration. I know I do.
