Rita Martelo Swimming

I wish everyone can feel what I feel when I'm swimming.

Light, free, strong, relaxed...Simply amazing!

Mapping London

There is an interesting way to see London...

Location of swimming pools across Boroughs.

ahh Laziness....

The big Beast

The monster who don't know how to swim!

Open Water

Apart from the swimming pool, I really enjoy swimming open water, specially in the ocean in Portugal!
Getting ready for the next Sesimbra Bay swim in October!
Hope to see you there!

Swim IN

Swim IN London is a series of maps covering the 33 boroughs of London. After visiting all the pools in London I collected sketches and information about each pool: how they look like, size, depth, number of lanes, diving boards and much more.
The result is a 3D visual representation of each pool and their geographic location.
Hope this information maps will be available to the public with the help of London Swimming.

Swimming

For those who don't know me, please consider the word swimming!

It started almost 3 years ago, when I moved to London, to study at Central Saint Martins.

My tutor advised me to choose something I really enjoy and love as subject for my final project since I would have work over it for 2 years. So I did. 

I decided to create a map of swimming pools in London, to know where I could swim. Not an ordinary map, but something related with water! A water map for a water sport!

Welcome

Welcome to you and to me!

Today, while reading a book, I decided to create this blog to share my ideas and stuff!

Hope you enjoy, and me too!
