Rowing For The Swing
Portrait of a highly stylized and physically very demanding sport, whose enthusiasts like to describe as a great school of life. The quest for the perfect movement animates all those who practice rowing. Every move must be in harmony with that of one's teammates , in search of the famous "swing", when the boat seems to fly over the water, thanks to the perfectly timed gesture of the rowers, united in the same breath for a moment of eternity. For George Pocock , the designer of the boat and of the eights race, "good rowers are first of foremost beautiful minds." In Geneva, rowing enthusiasts operate in a dual natural environment surrounded by the city. Between the river Rhône and Lake Geneva, they would not, for anything in the world, miss this sporting interlude allowing them to reconnect with nature, with others and sometimes, with themselves too.
