Wellness Wednesday: The Positive Effects of Swimming on the Brain |
by ALICE REEVES-TURNER
If there is one thing all swimmers (and ex-swimmers) can agree on, it is the addictive nature of swimming. We all crave the smell of chlorine on our skin, the pain of a long, hard set and the adrenaline rush that comes from every race regardless of its result. The fact that so many find it so hard to hang up the goggles is proof enough of this addiction. However, very few know why we feel this way. The answer is in science and hormones. |
Visitors to ISHOF: ISHOF gets visit from Norman and Janise Sarsfield, son and daughter in-law of ISHOF Honor Contributor, Norman Sarsfield of Great Britain |
Last week, Norman and Janise Sarsfield stopped by ISHOF to visit and see the home of their Dad’s honor. They were last here in 2014, when Norman and his brother, Martin and their wives, came over for the induction of their Dad, who had passed away in 2003. And a well-deserved, long overdue honor it was! (Read Norman’s bio below) We were glad to welcome them back and hope they can once again come back to Fort Lauderdale when the new ISHOF is completed, and we have a whole new world to show them!
