Swimming with wild orcas (killer whales) in Norway @SwimmyMcFish

SwimmyMcFish This footage was taken in Andenes, Norway on the 14th Jan 2016. Every winter roughly 1000 orcas show up to feed on herring in the waters. We were incredibly lucky on this day, locating the first pod of orcas within minutes of leaving the port. Towards the end of the swim we discovered the herring the orcas were hunting, so had the pleasure of watching them hunt by rounding up the fish.

Special thanks to Eddie for sorting this out.

Wild Swimming in the River Great Ouse

SwimmyMcFish 2018-06-26 | One of my favourite places to swim, the river great ouse. Recently getting back into wild swimming as am training for a big swim (more on that later though). If you live around Northamptonshire / Bedfordshire would recommend this place. Postcode to finding the spot is MK43 8AP, if you get stuck message me and I'll give details.

Open water swimming in Rugby

SwimmyMcFish 2012-07-21 | Nice small, and relaxing lake to swim in close to Rugby (Midlands) water is good quality and people are friendly.

Am very new to swimming in a wet suit, feels very odd, so all advice is welcomed and appreciated.

This video is a clip from my last lap of the day, swum slowly and focusing on my technique. Felt comfortable and relaxed during this stroke but watching the video back I'm not sure if I am rolling correctly, and feet don't look as relaxed as they do in the pool. Noticed a lot of guys in wet suits swing their arm round, so might try that.

Many thanks
