The North

In this post I’ll tell the story of my North Channel crossing, what it meant for me, and how I prepared for it. A month after my swim I’m still in disbelief, processing the great feeling of accomplishment, and licking my wounds, but I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s get…

Il Nord

In questo post racconterò la storia della mia traversata del Canale del Nord, cosa ha significato per me, e come mi sono preparato ad affrontarla. A più di un mese dopo la mia traversata non mi pare ancora vero e sto ancora processando la sensazione di vittoria e leccandomi le…

Consigli per il Nuoto in Acque Fredde

[Guest Post] grazie ad Andrew W. — “Nuotare mi ha sempre dato una certa Gioia, un senso di benessere così estremo che diventa alle volte una sorta di Estasi. . . . La mente può volare libera, stregata, in uno stato di trance. Non ho mai conosciuto niente di così potente, di un’euforia così sana — e…

Hic Sunt Leones

Sunday (2020–12–13) Lauren and I, to stretch out from the previous day’s 3 hours in 53F, got back to the Bay. Little did we know, an adventure awaited us! It was a classic overcast San Francisco morning, water was sleek as oil and the tide was weak, so we decided…

Hic Sunt Leones

Domenica (2020–12–13) Lauren e io, non paghi delle 3 ore a 11.7C (53F) del giorno prima, siamo tornati alla Baia per un’oretta sciolta. Non sapevamo che ci attendeva una avventura! Il tempo era grigio, una classica mattina a San Francisco, ma l’acqua era liscia come l’olio e la marea debole…

Tips for Cold Water Swimming

[Guest Post] courtesy of Andrew W. — “Swimming gave me a sort of joy, a sense of well-being so extreme that it becomes at times a sort of ecstasy. . . . The mind can float free, become spellbound, in a state like a trance. I have never known anything so powerfully, so healthily euphoriant — and…
