Lakes usually instill a feeling of calm and serenity with their clear water and light breezes. When you imagine a lake, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a calm pool of water where you can swim, sail, or just sit and enjoy the beauty. But are all lakes safe? Well, we don’t think you’ll wanna go anywhere near the lakes we’re gonna tell you about, let alone take a dip in their dangerous waters!

Champion Freediver Shows Incredible Oceans He Explores on Just One Breath of Air
World champion freediver Guillaume Néry is back with a stunning short film titled One Breath Around the World. Together with his wife Julie Gautier (also a skilled freediver), Néry takes us on a voyage under the worldwide seas. Passing through the waters of France, Finland, Mexico, Mauritius, Japan, French Polynesia, and the Philippines, Néry is our spirit guide in this journey to explore deep water.
Néry left competitive freediving in 2015 after an error by organizers saw him dive 139 meters (459 feet). This was 10 meters (33 feet) further than he had planned, a near-fatal mistake that caused him to black out. Now, he continues his love of freediving through lectures, workshops, and clinics. But, more than anything, it’s the films that he and Gautier have been producing since 2010 that have made an indelible mark.
Through their production company Les Films Engloutis, the duo’s acclaimed films have a surreal and mystical feel. One Breath Around the World is no exception, with Néry scurrying around rock formations, caressing an icy frozen surface, and mingling with sharks and whales. Over the course of 12 minutes, each body of water is seamlessly joined together until Néry emerges, casually walking among beachgoers, and leaving us waiting for the next adventure.

Ulla Gustavsson Resigns as President of the Swedish Swimming Federation
‘After the recent days’ debate on girls and women’s wear in sports, Ulla Gustavsson has today decided to resign as chairman of the Swedish Sim Association.
– Ulla Gustavsson has a big heart for Swedish Swimming, and we are grateful for the work she has put into the movement, nationally and internationally. But the Swedish Swimming Federation’s board takes the recent debate very seriously, and has concluded that there are no longer conditions for Ulla Gustavsson to successfully lead the Swedish Swimming Federation, says Stefan Persson, vice chairman of the Swedish Swimming Federation’s board. Ulla Gustavsson has, therefore, decided to resign as Chairman of the Board. Her personal perceptions and statements contrast with the Swedish Swimming Federation’s strategy and basic view that all children should fit into our activities on equal terms.
Stefan Persson, Vice Chairman, will act as Acting Chairman of the Swedish Swimming Federation until the annual meeting in the spring of 2020.
