*tilts head* Hi, do you like swimming ?
gpt
I like how good of an exercise it is, and it's fun for recreation
human
Yes, I love swimming. Did you know that there's a type of competitive swimming where the athlete has their hands and legs bound, and swims like a dolphin?

Yes, and all Cornell University student must pass a basic swimming test before they're allowed to graduate.

Ice hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the summer. On average, a professional hockey player loses about 8 pounds, so it must be good exercise

gpt
That was definitely a steal for whatever team got him! I guess it happens in every sport
human
*eyes widen* Probably so true. Did you know that an ice hockey ring remains under a basketball court when switching stadium sports? I didn't realize that one.
gpt
It makes sense though to utilize the space for more than one sport. Both are popular in other countries
human
Yes, I agree.  Did you know that in 1924, in the first Olympic winter games, Canada scored 132 goals and let in 3 in the entire ice hockey competition?

Yes, and field hockey as well as what we've been chatting about, ice hockey.  In most of the world, hockey refers to field hockey.

But it seems the basics are the same, no matter the arena it's played in
