This is a special one:
For people who enjoy #openwaterswimming , the Dolphin Club in SFO is an institution. I have been swimming here before, but that was around Christmas. The time in the water was very short.
This week, I had a wetsuit with me. Water temperature around 15°C, I guess. Windy and choppy conditions, but sunshine.

One Needs a HeadCase to Attempt a Handstand
#BlackAndWhitePhotography #Photography #Darktable #WestonSuperMare #MarineLake #AnchorHead #Lady #Handstand #OpenWaterSwimming #WsM
One of the 'Ladies of the Marine Lake' took an iPad caase to cushion her head and then attempts a handstand, at the Marine Lake.
The lady said that: "If I hadn't been wearing a dress" [which she obviously feared might expose her modesty] "I would have done it." [the handstand]

#openwaterswimming until the police stopped me at the first bridge. 😅
Typically, they are easy. But today was different.
I går deltok jeg i den første SvømOslo! Et folkesvømmearrangement fra Badstueforeningen's Sukkerbiten området. Skikkelig moroog lav terskel.
Jeg svømte 1000m. Neste år vil jeg prøve 2000m-løypa. Kanskje du er med neste år du også?
Dette var ingen konkurranse, men jeg ble veldig fornøyd med tiden (litt under 20 min), godt hjulpet av våtdrakten.
Testing @fitpub right now.
Easy upload of a *.gpx file from #CoMaps . Looks good to me.

Is there something like an #open / #opensource sports watch?
Looking for #advice :
LLMs tell me that #garmin would have the best #Linux support.
I would love to buy a #pebble , but I want to use it for #openwaterswimming . And while there seems to be some support for „swimming“ , I read about some people facing issues with water entering.
I actually don’t need notifications.
Ideally, I want to track exercises (mostly runs, calisthenics and swimming).
Advice appreciated.
Inner-city open water swimming in Berlin.
Technically, this is illegal. I hope that the #FlussbadBerlin initiative will be able to change the legal situation regarding swimming in #spree .

Die Aktion wird auch vom #volksbad der Volksbühne #berlin unterstützt. Das Volksbad bleibt an diesem Tag geschlossen.

Wer sich fragt, wie eine innerstädtische Abkühlung in #berlin aussehen könnte, der kann sich mal die Bilder der letzten #FlussbadBerlin Demo anschauen.
Und wer denkt, dass man genau das braucht, der kann dann auch zur nächsten Demo am 20. Juli / 20. August / 20. September kommen.

It turned out to be a positive and colourful event, as we were hoping for.
About 500 people swam in #spree .

Kennt ihr Stell- oder Campingplätze mit Schwimmbad in der Nähe, in denen man auch richtig trainieren und Bahnen schwimmen kann?
Radfahren 🚴 und Laufen 🏃 geht fast überall, Schwimmen 🏊 ist unterwegs oft die größte Herausforderung.
Freue mich auf eure Tipps!

Is there a spot for open water swimming around the Meatpacking District?
This is a question for the #openwaterswimming community here on mastodon:
I’m travelling to #nyc soon and will stay around the mentioned district.
I just learned about the Gansevoort Peninsula, which sounds perfect. But swimming seems to be prohibited there explicitly. But how is this handled in real life? Would anyone mind a random dude dipping into the river for five minutes in the early morning?
Not planning a long swim, just a little experience. 🏊♂️☀️
#berlin - mark your calendar:
The first swim-along demo 2026 is taking place on Wednesday.
#flussbadberlin aims to abolish the 101-year-old law which prohibits people from swimming in the #spree .
While this measure made sense at the time, water quality improved significantly, can be measured reliably, and is good enough for swimming for most of the time.
We expect a colourful and joyful event. ☀️ 🧜♂️ 🏊♂️🏊♀️
Am 20. ist in #berlin Badetag.
Der #flussbad Verein lädt in diesem Jahr weiter zur Schwimm-Demo ein. Ziel ist die Abschaffung des Badeverbots, welches seit 101 Jahren gilt. Messungen haben gezeigt, dass die Wasserqualität heutzutage fast das ganze Jahr über gut ist. Ein einfaches Ampelsystem könnte das Schwimmen also wie in anderen Städten ermöglichen.
Am 20. Mai findet die erste Demo statt. Zwischen 17:30 und 19:00 darf man im Rahmen der Veranstaltung in die #spree steigen. Die Wasserqualität wird natürlich überwacht.
Im vergangenen Jahr war das eine sehr fröhliche und bunte Veranstaltung.

Struggling with sinking legs during freestyle swimming? The most common mistake is treating it as a fitness issue rather than a mechanical one. If you lift your head, your body acts like a teeter-totter, forcing your hips to drop. Fix your posture bury your head, engage your core, and generate forward lift. Stop kicking harder and start fixing your alignment.

If you struggle with sinking hips, your kickboard might be the problem. Elevating your head and chest on a board forces your lower half down, creating massive drag and hardwiring terrible posture. To swim efficiently, we have to unlearn the "swimming uphill" trap and rebuild natural horizontal balance. I put together a full breakdown of the biomechanics and drills to fix it.

New on the blog: Streamline Explained. 🏊♂️
We break down the three forces of drag (Form, Friction, Wave) and why the "Square Law" makes swimming a unique challenge compared to running or cycling.
Includes a simple "Wall Test" to check your shoulder mobility before you hit the pool.

Rottnest Channel Swim's Safety Challenged by Rough Seas, Leading to Mid-Race Cancellation
The Rottnest Channel Swim was cancelled on February 24, 2024, because of strong winds up to 55 kph and rough seas. Swimmers were told to exit the water at 10 am.

If you struggle with water entering your nose while swimming, stop "humming" underwater. The "M" sound keeps your soft palate relaxed and your nasal passage open.
Instead, practice the "K" or "G" sound (Velar stops). This manually lifts the soft palate and creates a watertight seal from the inside, removing the need for nose clips.
Here is a full guide on the anatomy here:

Não se engane, eu passei uns 40min lutando com minha mente pra conseguir ir nadar hj, sem treino, só entrar na água. O planejado era ir de 5:00, mas cheguei lá de umas 6h40, espero melhorar a constância nesse esporte este ano. #nataçãoNoMar #openwater #openwaterswimming
A foggy day at the North Sea on Nordstrand in December 2025. Went for a – short! – swim in 6°C water. – And then to the public pool for a longer swim in water that's 20 (℃) degrees warmer.
Not much to see during today's afternoon swim 🌊🏊♂️🌊 – a bit foggy, 8°C in the air, 9°C in the water.
Join us for an inspiring conversation celebrating endurance, environmental stewardship & the power of women in water at Manny's in SF on 11/12 🏊♀️
Distance swimmer Michelle Goodwin will share her journey swimming the English channel in dialogue with Baykeeper board member Diane Walton, exploring the intersection of athletic achievement and environmental advocacy.
We hope to see you there!
