    In an amateur video viewed on YouTube more than 12,000 times, a seal is spotted clambering over flood defences at Fen Drayton lakes in Cambridgeshire. The reserve is more that 50 miles from the coast at Kings Lynn in Norfolk, where the seal is thought to have entered the river Great Ouse. read The Guardian

    Just a photo from the FINA 2012 World Swimming Championships (25m) in Istanbul, Turkey, me playing with the ‘miniature mode’ camera setting. By the way, interesting how Kazan 2015 was more visible at the meet, than Barcelona 2013.

    An interesting fundraiser here on Indiegogo, to support Club Swim, a mockumentary miniseries about an undervalued assistant swim coach and his team of misfit swimmers, the Flounders. They’ve already reached $1,235 of their $999, but probably don’t mind a bit more. See clubswim.com
