English term or phrase: popular pastimes
The cottage, later, to be called Kingstone, was built in 1839 for George Noble Jones, a well-to-do plantation owner from Savannah, Georgia. It is difficult to imagine today the importance that Victorians attracted to the powers in preserving health. George Jones liked to entertain people in his estate. Afternoon dinner and informal suppers were the rule. Horseback riding and swimming were popular pastimes. Bathing took place at Easton Beach frequently. Women were permitted to use the beach mornings, under protection of a white flag. At noon, women were expected to leave, presumably to be spared the sight of gentlemen in their bathing costumes.

Верховая езда и купание(я) (или \"морские купания\", \"купание в море\")(можно и \"плавание\", но \"плавание\" как-то больше сочетаемо с \"плавание в бассейне\").

Что-то вроде:
Верховая езда и морские купания были популярными развлечениями (того времени).
