    Gerald Ford had daily evening swims. Don't know if he's good at it, though - I'd be more interested in knowing which leader was a truly good swimmer. Lenin seemed to be an unconventional swimmer (Oops, just noticed 2/3 mentioned above are communist leaders. Now plus Putin... maybe that's what made communism strong. I seem to remember that Saddam Hussein liked getting wet (but I believe that was in either the sea or a river.) The late :canada:P.E.Trudeau (ex-Prime Minister of Canada) had an indoor pool built at 24 Sussex Drive (our equivalent of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.)
