Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans: A Humorous Take on New Water Sports for the Holidays - Heathletics! (1930s) Step into the whimsical world of Heathletics, an intriguing collection of water sports that promised to add a splash of excitement to your holiday season in the 1930s. This delightful illustration, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases three new and unusual aquatic pastimes: Sea Golf, Winkle Cricket, and Ocean Ping Pong. Sea Golf, depicted in the foreground, combines the classic game of golf with the thrill of the sea. Players tee off from a boat, aiming to land their balls on floating greens. The challenge of the unpredictable waves adds an element of adventure to this sport, making it a perfect activity for those seeking a break from the traditional green fairways. Moving on to Winkle Cricket, we see a team of cricketers in action on a makeshift floating pitch. This amusing adaptation of the beloved cricket game involves players attempting to hit a winkle (a type of bivalve mollusk) with a wooden bat, while their opponents try to catch the winkle before it sinks back into the ocean. Lastly, Ocean Ping Pong presents a playful twist on the classic table game. Players engage in a lively match on a floating platform, using paddles to send the ping pong ball bouncing across the water's surface. The added challenge of the water's currents and wind makes this game not only entertaining but also a test of skill and agility. These charming illustrations not only provide a glimpse into the imaginative world of water sports during the 1930s but also offer a lighthearted reminder of the joy and creativity that can be found in embracing new and unconventional activities. So, next time you're planning a holiday by the sea, consider giving Heathletics a try and create some unforgettable memories!
