The proposed PhD fieldwork will utilise qualitative methods that progressively dive deeper into swimmers' social worlds from swim-along participant observation to interviews and GoPro video diaries. GoPro diaries, pioneered by Dr Bates and Dr Moles, are a particularly novel tool for accessing the multisensory atmospheres of swimming. Complemented by participant observation and semi-structured interviews, the proposed PhD interweaves methods to conduct a spatial-temporal journey, (re)connecting and (re)immersing with Thames swimmers over a one-year cycle. Working closely with their supervsiors, ethical considerations will be key and training and preparation for ethical clearance will be built in from the start. Researcher safety will draw on established procedures for ethnographic fieldwork, particular attention will be paid to issues connected to walking and 'immersive' methods in wild spaces, drawing on the expertise and support of the proposed supervsiors and established research safety procedures and protocols associated with similar work that has been conducted in SOCSI.

拟议的博士实地考察将利用定性方法，从游泳参与者观察到访谈和 GoPro 视频日记，逐步深入了解游泳者的社交世界。 GoPro 日记由 Bates 博士和 Moles 博士首创，是一种了解游泳多感官氛围的特别新颖的工具。辅以参与观察和半结构化访谈，拟议的博士课程交织了进行时空之旅的方法，在一年的周期内与泰晤士河游泳者（重新）联系和（重新）沉浸。与主管密切合作，道德考虑将是关键，并且从一开始就将进行道德审查的培训和准备。研究人员的安全将利用人种学实地考察的既定程序，特别关注与野生空间中的步行和“沉浸式”方法有关的问题，利用拟议监督者的专业知识和支持以及与类似的相关的既定研究安全程序和协议SOCSI 中已开展的工作。
