    The folks over at Contour have a brand new waterproof, wearable, FOV camera coming to market. It’s the CountourROAM2, and it’s designed as an entry level alternative to the Countour+2. At $199, this matches the price of similar products and offers a few things that some don’t, including an instant-on record switch – you don’t have to boot the camera up, just hit the switch and begin recording.

    “It was one of the best water conditions in awhile. The water was very warm, calm, and clear at depth. Hide, Hilow and I came to another spot today to check out for lobsters. When we started looking for them, we knew this was it!”

    Russia announced Wednesday it will appoint a new national swimming coach by December 1 as the country looks to improve upon its dour performance in international competition. A wealth of foreign candidates are being considered for the vacancy, which came up when Andrei Vorontsov’s deal expired on September 30. Read RIA Novosti

    His replacement, said Russian Swimming Federation president Vladimir Salnikov, must be “a fusion of an organizer and a person who has exemplary knowledge and see the trends in the world’s swimming.”
