  • Swimathon Ambassador, Wanda Stockdale, talks about the positive benefits from swimming and how it has changed her life as she begins her preparation for Swimathon 2018 (27-29 April – 600+ pools nationwide)

  • When the small Japanese seaside town of Susami needed a tourism boost, an unlikely resident came to the rescue: the town’s postmaster. Together with the local diving community, former postmaster Toshihiko Matsumoto helped establish the world’s first underwater mailbox. Those willing to make the plunge can strap on a wetsuit and mail letters from 30 feet under the sea. Incredibly, dive shop owner Hiroaki Yamatani descends each day to collect and deliver these letters to the post office. To date, almost 38,000 letters have been sent from under the sea.

  • A letter emerged Tuesday that was purportedly written by a former inmate at Alcatraz who — along with two others — managed to escape the island prison only to vanish without a trace.

    The running theory about the inmates’ fate is that they died shortly after stepping foot into the cold waters that separated the prison and San Francisco. But their bodies were never found and their story remains a mystery.

    Prison officials and federal agents insisted at the time of the escape that the inmates — brothers John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris — perished.

    CBS San Francisco reported that it obtained a letter allegedly written by John Anglin. The letter contains an admission of escape and an explanation of the inmates’ fate.

    “My name is John Anglin,” the letter reads. “I escape (sic) from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I’m 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes we all made it that night but barely.”

    The letter continued, “If you announce on TV that I will be promised to first go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention, I will write back to let you know exactly where I am. This is no joke.”

    Norman Todd, 45, managed about 10 minutes in Loch Glascarnoch near Garve in Wester Ross on Saturday. The loch frequently has some the lowest temperatures in winter.

    The offshore worker, from Ullapool, is training to take part in a swim of The Minch, a stretch of water between Scotland’s north west mainland coast and the Western Isles.

    Norman previously swam in the sea between Achiltibuie and Ullapool to raise money for a marine conservation project

    Photographer and film-maker Steven Gourlay, who filmed Norman’s icy dip, said the air temperature on Saturday was almost -8C.
