# Swimming smooth

2018-07-06

I’m sorry; your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video in MP4 with H.264 or Webm (or I messed up). You can download the video though.

Video (8.7Mb): me swimming for one minute in Poisson Blanc lake.

As with running barefoot, it is really important to me to practice a sport in a sustainable way. I’m learning swimming freestyle alone for almost 4 years now, there are still a lot of gotchas I can spot in the video but I’m really pleased to be able to swim about 3km per hour with my current technique.

Actually, that’s not the metrics that matter but just being in the water that morning in a gorgeous place after a night fighting mosquitoes and raccoons.

Feeling relieved.
