| swimming pool granuloma | Localised nodular skin inflammation (small reddish raised areas of skin) caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium marinum. Swimming pool granuloma is typically acquired by occupational or recreational exposure to salt or fresh water, often resulting from minor trauma during caring for aquariums. The diagnosis is suggested by the history of exposure and confirmed by culturing tissue specimens which yield the microscopic organism, mycobacterium marinum. The infection can be treated with a variety of antibiotics, including doxycycline, minocycline, clarithromycin, rifampin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Also called fish bowl granuloma.

| swimming speed | <marine biology> Swimming speeds of stream fish vary from essentially zero to over six metres per second, depending upon species, size, and activity. Three categories of performance are generally recognised: 1. Burst (darting) speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for a very short time, generally 5 to 10 seconds, without gross variation in performance. Burst speed is employed for feeding or escape, and represents maximum swimming speed. 2. Cruising speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for an extended period of time without fatigue. This implies a lack of stress, and is the maximum speed traveled by undisturbed individuals. 3. Sustained (prolonged) speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for a prolonged period, but which ultimately results in fatigue. at this speed the fish is under some degree of stress. (19 Jan 1998) |
| swimming test | A test for activity of adrenal cortical preparations; two days after adrenalectomy, rats are placed in water and the time during which they can swim is recorded; they are then injected with the material to be tested; the response is termed "positive" if the swimming time is doubled.

| swarming |
New honeybee colonies are formed when queen bees leave the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called "swarming." The first or prime swarm generally goes with the old queen. As soon as the swarm is established as a new colony, the bees raise a new queen, or sometimes a replacement virgin queen is already present in the swarm. Afterswarms are usually smaller and are accompanied by one or more virgin queens. ...
