My friend just announced that her grandfather swam in the Olympics, when the swimming competion was done in the Hudson River. She is 40. What does she mean by this? I don't think any Olympics were in NY, but could they have trained there? Or is she fibbing? :joker: Just curious...SmartSwimmeroftheDay award to the person who knows!

    I've done some of these and I must say that I was surprised at how clean the water was. I'd much rather swim in the Hudson or East River than in the Chesapeake Bay. Now, the Harlem River is a slightly different story... -LBJ ditto that leonard. but i will be doing the chesapeake next week anyway!
