Der Schwimmverein Donaukanal will den Genuss des urbanen Schwimmens wiederbeleben. Mit unseren Schließfächern und Umkleidekabinen sind wir zu Gast im Hof des Kunst Haus Wien. Der Donaukanal bietet 850.000 m2 großen, flüssigen, erfrischenden öffentlichen Raum! Dort zu schwimmen ist erlaubt und es lassen sich fast vergessene Stadterfahrungen machen. /

angewandte festival
The Schwimmverein Donaukanal live streamed from the Donaukanal during the angewandte festival program. This day the conditions did not allow to swim:
– heavy rainfalls the days before
– high water in Donaukanal
– Wienfluss water level was higher than usual
– the watercolor was brownish instead of a more greenish color
– the current was too strong and the river was way too fast to go inside
still we took a footbath and started a conversation about the Schwimmverein Acitivities and in general the potential of the Kanal as our shared liquid public space.
**also it was the launch of the Schwimmverein Donaukanal Merch designed and made by Ana Mumzlade and Amelie Schlemmer

Everyone is invited to join – the tour along the Donaukanal, where we start to read this Viennese water differently and ultimately go for a swim – or in the middle of a homely live stream on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flanierend lassen wir uns vom Strom des Donaukanals treiben und lernen, dieses Wiener Gewässer anders zu lesen und anschließend darin zu schwimmen. Alle sind eingeladen – ob direkt an der Promenade oder im heimeligen Live-Strom.
