I’m a swim film festival fan, and I love this short swimming animation simply titled, Swimming Pool, created by Alexandra Hetmerova.
If you have an interesting or beautiful swimming-related video, 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.
Night lovestory of two outsiders, who meet in closed swimming pool in the middle of big city.
