A team photo before the “Skálafjarðarsvimjingin 2005”, a swim we arranged twice here in the local swim club. We’re situated at the mouth of Skálafjørðurin, the longest firth on the Faroe Islands, some 15 kilometers long and only 600 across here at the mouth, so it is only natural to dream of taking the short…

CC photo #128: Pál showing kids in Sørvágur where he’s been
From an event we arranged for kids in Sørvágur, when Pál Joensen and Jón Bjarnason were enroute to the South African Championships in 2010.

A fond memory from the Budapest 2012 European Championships, Alexander Dale Oen and Pál Joensen having a chat by the warm-up pool. This was the first big meet after the supersuit were banned, and they both did really good, so we were all really happy.

Norway’s Alexander Dale Oen and Iceland’s Jakob Jóhann Sveinsson on top of the Shanghai World Financial Center supertall skyscraper, on a day off at the Shanghai 2011 World Aquatics Championships.
