Out of Old Nebraska . . .
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.
