Nikon’s AW1 might be the best underwater camera ever made
Quote The Verge:
The concept of a waterproof camera is nothing new — most camera manufacturers offer a variety of waterproof point-and-shoots, and Nikon even made mass-market, waterproof film cameras back in the ’60s and ’70s. However, Nikon’s now bringing something new to the waterproof market: the oddly-named Nikon 1 AW1 is a mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera based on 2011’s Nikon 1 J1, but it keeps shooting when submerged in the water and is also shockproof and freezeproof.

Should Ice Swimming Be In The Olympics?
A good question here on Open Water Swimming
One of the most fascinating topics at the 2012 Global Open Water Swimming Conference in Long Beach, California was the discussion on how to get ice swimming into the Winter Olympics.
Those discussions will undoubtedly continue at the 2013 Global Open Water Swimming Conference in Cork, Ireland. In addition to the Summer Olympics goal of athletes to go higher, faster, stronger, many events of the Winter Olympics have a high element of daredevil feats and inherent risk.
