The Swim Across Sweden (Sverigesimmet) is now two weeks under way and I´ve so far covered 190 km! That means I now only have 400 kilometres to go before hitting Gothenburg on the west coast:)

I´ve basically covered all of the Baltic Sea Coast between Stockholm and the entrance to Göta Kanal and I look forward to some easier swims, conditions wise. In the Baltic I´ve met some pretty nasty head winds and swells but all in all it´s been a remarkable adventure. My body is holding up surprisingly well and except som chafing I´m doing just fine. The water temperature has been way warmer than expected and that has been a pleasant surprise.
