The Power of Swimming
2016 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year nomination
The Power of Swimming was nominated for the 2016 WOWSA Awards, a recognition of outstanding men, women, performances and offerings around the globe sponsored by the World Open Water Swimming Association in the category of World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year.
The Power of Swimming or “Swimming with the Stars" by the Swedish Swimming Federation and E. ON is a virtual reality project that helps hydrophobic children learn to swim. As virtual reality is a very powerful, experiential and inspirational tool easily accepted by the youngest generations, this project begins to reduce the sobering fact that 20% of Swedish children cannot swim - despite living in a land of lakes surrounded by the sea. Through a 360-degree below-the-surface experience, children begin to overcome their fear of water and take a virtual plunge with members of the Swedish swim team. For inspiring children to take their first strokes, for helping those who fear the water to take the plunge, for inviting viewers to order free virtual reality goggles to use at home and find their nearest local swimming association, The Power of Swimming is a worthy nominee for the 2016 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year.
