Hey OW Peeps - One of my friends on my team and I volunteered to be Swim Angels today, helping people get through their swims on the Swim Across America here in Dallas. It was so much fun! There were a few folks for whom this was their first time in OW and it was a struggle. We'd just swim next to them, encouraging, helping with sighting, or even waving down a kayak to help them take a breather.
I'm not a huge fan of fundraising, personally, so this was a way to still help out. If you're an OW swimmer, I'd suggest looking in to seeing if they have an event near you this summer and helping out. Added bonus, you can get in a couple of miles of swimming and/or treading water for close to 2 hours.
