a film about Open Water swimming a day in the lake with Ian Dare 2018... Ian Is a open water swimmer and enjoys the silence off swimming alone and being alone in nature there are no rules and no boundaries just you and the water.
Dear Ian, dear David, your video was the first step forward in a new life. I was in the Army the last 22 years and overcame the biggest crisis of my life. Your video inspired me to "go swim", in february, here in Germany in the river of my city and this was THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO SURVIVE. To go back to my old sport, to go and feel my body and soul, the water, nature, ... later on I changed to Stand up Paddling also, but this initial step, was the start of my new life. Thank you very much my friend. Take care of you and if I can support you, somehow here in Germany, let me know. Christian
Dear Ian, am a long time swimmer, and a few weeks ago some friends encouraged me to go open water in a lake. I was thrilled, but first time had a sort of panic surge. I watched many videos - most very focused on technicalities - after I watched your video it gave me that last bit of confidence and that was a game changer, finally did the cross. Thank you!
I tried swimming with groups but truthfully appreciate the solitude of my ocean swim (apart from my fishy friends) ,no competing all at my own pace. I usually end up 200 metres away from the shore away from other swimmers. Nearing 54 YO and feeling the best about my body and fitness ever.
great video, i am just beginning to swim at midlife. Can only go about 100 yards now, but dreaming of crossing some larger bodies. very relaxing and uplifting
I love swimming but I have had heart failure which acts up at times but if I had some floation devices I would feel ,more secure ,great job fantastic videos great rehab thnkyou
This is one of the best solo open water swimming video I have watched so far...It is more than a simple video, it is almost an ode to open water swimming...
Lovely film. And passion. I'm a sea dock swimmer mostly (with the odd swim in the sea. But absolutely love cold water and being outside of the contraints of a pool.
Oui ! Avec mon café à l aube tous les jours après la nage , seul sur la plage , c'est un moment magique !😊 et je sais que au même moment ( où presque ). Des milliers de nageur d open water si disent la même chose que moi = c était le meilleur moment de la journée !😊
You just perfectly summarized all that is beautiful in open water swimming. And you did it having perfect voice for this. Great video to watch and listen
Just discovered this video....as you know: EXCEPTIONAL. The best I’ve ever seen on open water swim. Headed out in a few for today’s swim, and will think of this while swimming.
Swim in the sea is different every season is different temperature Every day the sea is different. I swim in the same place for 60 years☺. Here the temperature of the water is from 17° - 31° in the summer. We have lake 70 Km from home and it is too far for me to go there. Sure this lake looks great! █
I feel the same. I’m a senior in Canada n I do 3 km in the pool but I enjoy open water swimming more. I do only 1.5 k but it feels so relaxing and meditative. I swim in the ocean in a secluded bay, though I stop mid October as it gets too cold. Thanks for the video!
I am only a distance swimmer in pools..but this really is wonderful....Have you noticed that the background music really matches with the sounds underwater? ANyway just an observation .Great video....
My first OWS went well except for a brief moment of panic. The wind was moving across the top of the water from left to right, and I thought for a second I was stuck in a current. It turned out it was just an optical illusion I relaxed, and the rest of the swim was very pleasant. BTW I was swimming breast stroke stroke not free style.
Beau clip vidéo ! Comme vous ...maintenant cela fait depuis 2 ans que je nage en étant en contact avec la nature ! C'est la suite logique du covid et de ses interdits , donc voilà depuis 2 ans je nage en Lac, mais par contre je le fais de nuit dans le noir ! J'attends de retrouver les piscines mais cela n'est pas comparable !😉🙃👍
why do you use a full length suit instead knee length long legs? Would it matter if ones suit is shorter much or not? I got one with short legs and long arms...is it going to be good for this type of swimming as well?
انا اكلم نفسي في اليوم مئة مرة في السباحة رفيق او اثنين يجعلان الامر ممتعا بالنسبة لي في الركض ليس لدي فرق اركض لوحدي و لكل منا ميوله و رغبته اتمنا ان نتقابل و نسبح مع بعض في يوم من الايام هههه
Hi Ian, I would like to connect with you. Recently I have started open water swimming and at beginner level. I would like to know your inputs on the same. How can I connect with you? email id?
@@khadijaalanssari7230 actually I swimm only open water in the sea and overotation is kind of a habit, because in some cases there are waves and ... you know. I am using two beat kick only.
