Emma Goldman Aquatic Society

A couple of years ago I joined the Temescal Aquatic Masters, a swim team of cool and crazy people who swim at 5:30 in the morning in an outdoor pool here in Oakland CA. When the team formed 35 years ago, they wanted to call themselves "The Emma Goldman Aquatic Society". US Masters Swimming told the team that they couldn't name themselves after a radical feminist and anarchist. Upon learning this history, I decided to create a post card, art stamp and ATC series.

Swim ON!
