  • A little artistic video I made called Fluide. It was a long time coming but, here it is. It is quite amazing to see such young people be such masters at what they do. These former and actual members of the Canadian National team of artistic swimmers (formerly called synchronized swimmers) are just great at what they do. I lost my breath a couple of times trying to film them but, other than that, I found it effortless to get the video you see now. This was filmed during a period of over 2 and a half months.

    The artists are two former Canadian national artistic swimming team members and two current Canadian national artistic swimming team members.

    The swimmers are
    Andrée-Anne Côté (Canadian Senior National team)
    Gabrielle Boisvert (former Canadian Senior National team member)
    Camille Fiola Dion (Canadian Senior National team)
    Laurence Vézina (former Canadian Senior National team member)

    Coaching and coordination :
    Marie Renée Blanchet

  • You will find this treasure located on the remote northern end of Brighton Beach. Accessible through a narrow wooded path that runs dangerously just along the top edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. Once there, you will be treated to a warm, shallow salt pond separated by rocks the to the rough ocean swells and waves. My family enjoyed our afternoon wading in the water and taking in the beautiful ocean vistas.
