every single day; but, of course, they're not.

I am getting into these contaminated waterways.

If people see that image, they start to ask themselves,

That starts a discussion that can lead to a clean up.

My name's Christopher Swain, and I've swum

over 3,000 miles in over 25 different contaminated waterways

in North America. I wanna advocate for these waterways,

and I can energize clean-ups. (bright music)

I was the kid who didn't wanna get out of the water.

As I got older, and I think this is true for many of us,

I started to become aware that waters are contaminated

everything from human waste to nuclear waste.

since 1972 when the Federal Clean Water Act passed,

all navigable U.S. waterways have to be safe for swimming

and fishing and drinking; if they're a fresh water creek.

Dozens and dozens of those waterways were in

It is contaminated with lots of things: heavy metals,

and one of the largest ongoing oil spills

So, in some way, we stole this waterway from ourselves.

What I'm saying is let's turn that around.

I take all these measures on all my swims

to protect my body and to protect my health.

I wear a cap; I wear goggles; I wear ear plugs;

It's a hazard that goes with the territory.

has swum the length of Newtown Creek in history

No one in their right mind would go in there.

It's like swimming through a dirty diaper

that's been garnished with oil, gasoline, and trash.

I'm doing this out of love, like I really do love the water,

I'm not a wealthy person; I'm not a scientist.

What I've got is my body and my life to offer.

and my hazmat gear until these waterways are clean;

into these clean waterways in my bathing suit
