SwimSwam Film Fest: Sea Swimming with Icelandic hipsters

I’m a swim film festival fan, and I love this swimming video, Sea Swimming with Icelandic Hipsters, captured by Iceland Wants to Be Your Friend.

I am always on the lookout for great swim videos. If you have an interesting or beautiful swimming-related video and/or animated short,  please submit to Gold Medal Mel Stewart at swimswam to be featured. We appreciate all points of view on pools, lakes, rivers and oceans. Please include a little background on why you captured the video and the equipment you used (cameras, lens, editing software, etc.). Feel free to add your own story as well, 175 to 200 words works best.

From the producer of the video:

My friend James has lived on me for almost a year and made a lot of friends among my people, mostly by hassling them when they’re drunk and trying to sleep with them. And swimming in the arctic ocean. He says this is a good strategy for him, but I am not sure it works for everyone.

If you’ve never been to Iceland, you should pay a visit. I was only there for 5 days and got to see and experience everything. Where else can you stand at the top of a Volcano looking down inside it?
