https://community.usms.org/events/f/pool-events/23509/how-was-swim-across-america---chicago-july-17-2010Would 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. :)en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/258852?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 18 Jul 2010 12:58:35 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2ff95e99-676b-468e-b309-3f25302b0794bzaks1424It was a beautiful (in a wet suit) 66 degrees! There were TONS of people, I couldn&#39;t believe excited everyone was! Thank goodness for wetsuits though. That mile swim I did was about 100x easier. I&#39;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!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
