Bob Needham, one of the posters here, is swimming. Anyone know of others? I've probably missed a thread somewhere on the way.
Good luck to everyone and I'm beyond impressed at the mileage! My daydream is sometime to try moving up from 5 to, say, 7-8 miles. But 28.5? Wow! Just ... wow!
Here's the list of participants:
