73 swimmers came together to honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans. Before the swim began we all enjoyed a ceremony that included a moment of silence, music from our fellow Dolphins Diana Pray and John Hornor, and a visit from the SFFD fireboat.
Swimmers had 4 different routes of varying lengths to choose from, making this a swim accessible to all. One group of swimmers entered from the beach near the second buoy and let the flood take them home.
The morning was initially quite foggy. The fog gradually lifted, however, and by the time the swimmers entered the water, we had a beautiful, sunny day.
A huge thank you to our pilots who kept a watchful eye over our swimmers in the cove and to the many volunteers that made this day possible.
A special thanks to Diane Campbell and Duke Dahlin for organizing this amazing event.
