Swimming Once for Men, Boys Pioneers Splashed in Buffalo Wallows During these hot summer days, Nebraskans by the thou sands take advantage of mod ern versions of the “old swim ming hole.” The increasing number of fine swimming pools to be found throughout Nebras ka provide significant additions to the state’s recreational facil ities, and illustrate another area in which present day Nebras kans are much better off than were their pioneer forbears. During the pioneer period, swimming was a sport general ly reserved for men and boys. Bathing suits usually were pro vided by nature, but the seclu sidn offered by the average swimming hole provided ade quate privacy. Buffalo wallows, ponds, 1 creeks and rivers served as swimming holes. Conditions, particularly in the buffalo wal lows and the ponds, were far from sanitary, but young and old splashed about in sometimes mucky, stagnant pools, com pletely oblivious of their germ ladened surroundings. Sometimes the girls went swimming, too. Mollie San ford Dorsey, who lived near Tecumseh, wrote the follow ing in her diary for July 27, 1867: "About the only employment we have now outside of our housework, is to help to destroy the potato bugs that are eating up the vines. That, and playing in the creek to keep cool. We are tanned awfully and look a little rough, I know. The little boys have been, for sport, be smearing their faces with the black mud that settles in the bottom of the creek. They dis covered it took the tan and sun burn off. We hailed the discov ery with delight for here was a cosmetic so available and cheap as dirt. “So one day last week we donned our bathing suits and sneaked off to the creek. Doing our heads up in cotton hand kerchiefs to save our hair from contact, we plastered our faces ihickly over with the black mud and sat on the banks for it to take effect . . . .Although we found ourselves a few shades whiter, 1 think we will not try it again soon.” Frequently the newspapers carried accounts of drowning. The Missouri was particularly treacherous. Generally, pioneer Nebras kans had a difficult time of it trying to find a good swimming hole. Frontier for printing!
