Swimming was invented in the days of Moses.

Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea with an army of Egyptians in pursuit.

The sea waters split allowing the fleeing Israelites a safe passage across  and the Egyptian soldiers wondering how to follow them.

-

“Wise Pharaoh.” asked  one of the officers, “How should we advance?”

“Swim” answered the Pharaoh, impatiently.

“I beg your pardon sir”

“Swim, tell them all to swim”

-

Without further ado the entire Egyptian brigade jumped into the rough sea waters and drowned.

-

“Sire” said the wise adviser to his ruler, “perhaps we should have given them lessons first.”
