It is with great sadness that I announce today (6-22-2014) a great swimmer and friend Chris Clarke of Indy Aquatic Masters passed away while competing in a 2 mile open water swim race at Eagle Creek Reservoir. Chris Clarke was 45 years old. I don't have much information to share at this time. It's believed he suffered a heart attack approximately 1/3 a mile from the race finish. He was in the lead pack at the time of the incident. The emergency rescue personal responded immediately, brought him to shore and started CPR.
RIP Chris.
When I heard about this I could not believe what I was reading. I am just numb. He will be very sorely missed and my heart goes out to his family, especially his daughter who he thought the world of. Truelly a sad sad day.
