Swimming With Cregos
In Search of Still Water
Each swim begins with uncertainty.
The sea changes daily — in color, in rhythm, in mood.
So do we.
This series traces moments where body, water, and emotion meet.
Where swimming becomes an act of listening,
and the search for stillness is both physical and deeply personal.
About Me
My name is Craig (Cregos) Ariav. I was born in South Africa and living Israel.
I'm a photographer and open water swimming coach — two identities that flow naturally into one another.
Water is my daily practice, photography is my way of seeing.
Through both, I explore presence, rhythm, solitude, and connection.
My work is rooted in the sea, shaped by light, weather, and what I carry inside me.
When I’m not holding a camera, I’m usually in the water — swimming, guiding, or simply breathing. 🎗️
