Yes, but it's only six days, since swimming isn't permitted for Jews on four of the ten days. Those four are the two days of Rosh Hashanah, Shabbat, and Yom Kippur.

What was the importance of yom kippur?

Actually, is's not - but it is nevertheless very, very important (it's definitely the second most important) as it's the day when observant Jews believe G-d takes a long, hard look at how they have behaved over the last year and what they have done during the ten days since Rosh Hashanah to put right any sins or wrongs committed. If a person has truly tried to make amends, they can consider themselves absolved with G-d. This is considered so important that there are many Jewish people who don't attend a synagogue on any other day but always make it for the Yom Kippur services. The most important is Shabbat, which of course falls weekly, as it commemorates G-d's creation of the Universe and provides an escape from everyday labours and time to spend with that most important concept among Jewish people, the family.


Why yom kippur celebrated?

Yom Kippur is not a day of celebration but is actually the Jewish day of atonement. Rosh Hashana is 10 days beforehand and it is the start of the Jewish new year. On rosh hashana Jews start repenting for their sins of the previous year and they use the 10 days until yom kippur to pray for forgiveness and show god they are sorry. On yom kippur Jews do not eat as a way of almost mourning over their sins. They go to the synogogue all day and pray to god to give them a good year. Jews believe there is a book of life and a book of death and so they are praying to god to be written into the book of life. The books are sealed on yom kippur and therefore the day ends with a neilla service which signifies the 'gates closing' and the books being sealed.
