How was Swim Across America - Chicago, July 17, 2010?

Would any participants care to reminisce? Water felt slightly sub-60 where I went for 7 a.m. dip. Not many are prepared to do an extended swim in that water temp. :)
  • It was a beautiful (in a wet suit) 66 degrees! There were TONS of people, I couldn't believe excited everyone was! Thank goodness for wetsuits though. That mile swim I did was about 100x easier. I'm not entirely sure I want to ever swim without one again! :angel: We all together raised $130,000 for cancer research. Let me say to everyone - supporters, friends, family, swimmers, volunteers - THANK YOU!
