Congrats to Penny Palfrey, her coaches, and support crew on her incredible swim!!! I was following it last night online!:applaud::bow: Steve Mullatones who taught our OW Swim Clinic at SwimFest last month was right there with her as well!

After the fact, Penny has resolutely stood by all of her crew and their actions to protect her, as it should be.
Hmmm, not so sure about that. Shouldn't it be about the accomplishment being done correctly and not simply about her?
The fact that you can't get the same story twice on this leads me to believe it was rather haphazardly planned or the parties really weren't in sync on what was going on during the event.
There is no doubt her feat is impressive but maybe not as record-worthy as initially reported.
What are the generally accepted rules on hazard elimination in events like this?
