There is NO chance of spreading the virus when swimming Freestyle laps and I feel very safe in the Sports Pool.

Swimming back stroke is not quite as safe as inhalation and exhalation are both done above the water. Having said that, each swimmer is in their own lane and distancing is easy to maintain unless you are passing someone but lasts an extremely short time.
Agree for all outside acivities.

Not so sure much thought was put into that chart. We now know being inside with air-conditioning recirculation the air is high risk.
