The wind spared us for a few hours and 68 swimmers set off from Yacht Harbor for Aquatic Park in 60F water. It was a fast swim and all 68 swimmers completed the 1.5 mile course in under an hour.
Congrats to all of the swimmers and thanks are due as always to all of the pilots and other volunteers that made this swim possible.
