安徽水域广阔,气候温和,降雨量多,无霜期长,是开展游泳活动较理想的地区。但建国初期,由于我省经济落后,人民生活困难,这优越的自然条件,未能充分运用。直至五十年代中期,各级体育机构相继建立,游泳运动才得到发展,特别是一九五五年元月我省唯一的游泳训练基地——省游泳池竣工投入使用后,五六年即选派优秀干部外出学习、进修、同年组建我省第一支游泳专业队伍—安徽游泳队。从此,这种深受群众喜爱,又有竞赛价值的游泳运动有了新的生机。在短短四年时间里游泳队伍逐年壮大,群众性游泳活动有了蓬勃发展,游泳成绩大幅度提高,我省起点较低的游泳水平,很快就跃上了新的高度,各项前六名平均成绩,都有显著的进展。 Anhui has a vast area with mild climate, abundant rainfall and long frost-free period, making it an ideal place for swimming activities. However, in the early days of the founding of New China, due to the backward economy in our province and the difficult life of the people, this superior natural condition failed to make full use of it. Until the mid-1950s, sports institutions at all levels have been established, swimming was developed, especially in January 1955 the only swimming training base in our province - the provincial swimming pool completed and put into use, five or six years to choose excellent Cadres go out to study and study, the same year the formation of the province’s first professional swimming team - Anhui swimming team. Since then, this favorite by the masses, but also competitive swimming has a new vitality. In a short span of four years, the number of swimming teams has been growing year by year. The mass swimming activities have been booming. The swimming performance has been greatly improved. The province has a relatively low starting level of swimming and quickly leapt to a new height. Average grade, have made significant progress.
