Heart of Howe Sound: the Swimmer
December 16, 2022
Jessi Harewicz
I started swimming in Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound while training for my English Channel swim crossing in 2017, and I've absolutely fallen in love with the area. It's so close to Vancouver, yet these are some of the most desolate and wild places I’ve ever swam.
Since this video was filmed, I am now the first swimmer to circumnavigate around all of the Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound islands.
Adventure swimming has rekindled a bond with my father, who supports me via sea kayak and we are fully self-sufficient out on the water. Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound has an incredible biodiversity that we’ve seen through our kayak and swim adventures—from the bald eagles, to the seals, to the seaweed that I run into while swimming.
We need to protect that.
