  • Human Access Project encourages river swimming, social distancing during the pandemic

    More people are taking to rivers to cool off this summer, especially because outdoor swimming allows for social distancing.

    For the last 10 years, Portlander Willie Levenson has been encouraging people to swim in the Willamette and Columbia rivers. His Human Access Project has cleaned-up and opened Audrey McCall Beach and Poet’s Beach downtown, as well as installed ladders to allow people to swim off the Portland fire house dock.

    He said there’s been renewed interest in swimming in the river due to pandemic-related closures and people looking to spend time outside.

    “You know it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come with our river that people are getting back into it,” said Levenson.

    “And ultimately, when people get into it, they care more about it and are inclined to take better care of it.”

    Olympic Swimmer Dylan Carter from Trinidad and Tobago shows you how to improve the breathing in the Butterly stroke. The hardest part is getting the breathing down. Otherwise, it can affect you in the last meters of the race as you don’t get enough oxygen, and your legs and arms start to burn. So it’s really important that you get that oxygen and that quick breath with enough air to finish your race! Three things to remember:

    1. Keep chin and lips low to the water
    2. Breath in the middle of the stroke
    3. The breath shouldn’t use a lot of energy
