The Breton Stéphane Krause has made the sea his playground. The one who “likes stormy conditions” once again treated himself to a swim in the open sea in the middle of a storm on Thursday November 21, 2024.

Ambassador of the city of Quiberon (Morbihan)Stéphane Krause had an exceptional swim in November 2023 while the Storm Ciaran swept Brittany. He did it again on Thursday November 21, 2024 during the passage of the storm Caetano.

“The powerful current holds me in the breaking waves”

The extreme swimmerknown for his solo swims in difficult conditions, prepared himself physically and psychologically for this new challenge. “On November 21, Caetano arrived with lightning at the stroke of noon. Just in time to change and the front, loaded with gusts of more than 60 knots raising the sea with startling howls, touches our Quiberon coast,” rewinds the one who had toured Mont-Saint-Michel one day in high tides.

Coming back to this new experience, Stéphane Krause explains: “One arm after the other, I am progressing out to sea and entering the heart of this union of power. The enormous masses of water close like terrifying jaws and the wind throws the water furiously… it's chaos… the water-laden air is difficult to breathe! The powerful current holds me in the breaking waves, I tear myself away from it and, out of breath, return to land…”

He shares this extraordinary swim on video

As in these previous challenges, the extreme swimmer shared a video of this “extraordinary dive into the heart of this powerful meteor. »

Anyone who posts videos on social networks to share their passion insists on the fact that extreme swimming is not within everyone's reach.
