Because they traditionally fill their mouths with the blood of goats or virgins, but FINA has banned this practice and no longer allows ritual sacrifice before a race. Now they must make do by placing filthy pool water in their mouths before a race, to appease their dark gods. Others say it's considered good luck to take in a bit of Ryan Lochte's powerfully golden urine before the big race.

What is the best place to swim?

I would have to say the best place you could swim in would be a swimming pool with lane-lines in it so then you could do laps. I would also recommend a Olympic sized pool. Those 2 are the best places to swim in because then you wouldn't have to swim against the current and it would probably be better for all beginner/ intermediate swimmers.
