The moving images of the Sallent Swimming Club, recorded between 1920 and 1930 by Josep Ball\u00fas, are a valuable testimony to the presence of sport in the local Catalan area. This audiovisual document, from the private fund of the Ball\u00fas Family, shows the vitality of sports practice in non-metropolitan environments, evidencing how physical activity and leisure were part of the daily life of Catalan society between the wars. The old Sallent swimming pool becomes the scene of an active, cohesive and modern community, which participates in the European movement to promote sport as a tool for health, coexistence and identity. This document is part of the typological and territorial diversity, and contributes to the visual memory of Catalonia, reinforcing its role in the construction of a Europe that values \u200b\u200bthe culture of well-being and citizen participation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14206,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[8],"class_list":["post-12125","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eix-batecs-de-la-societat-catalana"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
