Bosphorus Cross-Continental Swimming Race 2021 has gathered this year 30 Moldavans ready to conquer the Bosphorus blue waters. It is an amazing and unforgettable experience for everyone who participated in this race. For the first time, the Moldavan team came up with a motivational dance to encourage the participation of those who are still thinking of swimming. See our entire adventure, positive emotions, good mood, and Bosphorus vibe in this video. Thanks Bosphorus for a nice time and lively atmosphere.

South Africa’s First Black Free Dive Instructor Turns Tide on Apartheid History
Five youths from Cape Town’s Langa township squeeze into wetsuits for a snorkelling lesson with South Africa’s first Black diving coach — turning the tide on decades of apartheid history in which water sports were reserved for wealthy whites.
Zandile Ndlovu’s Black Mermaid Foundation aims to introduce the ocean to the country’s black youth, millions of whom live in impoverished shanty townships, where beach trips are a luxury and swimming skills in short supply.
Sitting around Ndlovu, 33, South Africa’s first Black — and Black female — free dive instructor, the children learn how to bite down onto the snorkel mouthpiece when breathing face down in the water, among other skills.
Established in 2020, the Foundation currently pays for the lessons but is looking for funders to ensure its longevity.
