I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Martin Strel Starts Amazon Swim
I read about Martin Strel a few days ago and blogrolled his web site. Now I see he is getting publicity from the BBC. Apparently Martin kicked off his 3000+ mile swim yesterday (Feb 1st) doing a mere 102km (in case you don't realize it - that's huge). Here are some pictures of Martin in action. Am guessing there is some good current in the Amazon. Will keep an eye on Martin's progress and wish him all the best in his pursuit. We're with you, Martin!
