On a balmy night in July, three long-distance swimmers--David Blanke, from Austin, TX, Marcia Cleveland, from Winnetka, IL, English Channel Swimmer and author of Dover Solo, and Chris Layton, from Chicago, one of this year's online USMS coaches and a coach of Chicago Smelts--decided to go for a swim. They swam the length of Chicago, 23.4 miles. They had many fine adventures en route, saw fireworks, swam near the water intake crib, which I am longing to do, past the Point, where many famous long-distance swimmers still hang out and bob in the waves, and saw the sun rise:
