    This is our 4th time participating in the Swim Around Lido Key with Swim Without Limits and the event is more fun each year that we do it! So yeah, maybe I lost a $1500 drone in the process! Things like that happen and the footage is oh so nice! Congratulations to all the participants! A huge thanks to Dave, Steve, and the rest of the organizers who put on such an awesome event!

  • Dads’ Synchronized Swim Team Raise Money for Club

    One Canadian father took on the challenge to raise money for his daughter’s synchronized swimming team by creating a team of his own.

    Christian Gosselin recruited other dads from his daughter’s swimming team. Then, came the birth of his  synchronized swimming team, Synchro Team. The fathers are not only raising money for the club, but they’re also hoping to bring attention to the sport.

    It’s no easy task though, Gosselin may have underestimated his expectations of the sport. Once he entered the pool the difficulty of synchronized swimming might have surprised him.

    “You have that kind of perception of how hard it could be, but then when you actually get in the water and start trying to put the nose clips on, getting upside down… it’s very difficult,” says Gosselin on his experience of synchronized swimming.

    An Ontario freediver who has been under the ice more than once freed himself from icy waters in Georgian Bay last month using only an axe.

    Video taken from both under and above the water shows Egor Nesterenko of Toronto as he uses an axe to slowly chip away at the ice, with two of his friends filming both under the water and above.

    The 32-year-old was putting his survival skills to the test and told Global News he did the whole “breakout” with only a “single breath of air.”
