No, not again!!

I have committed to swimming the Great South Bay once again. This 5.5-mile open-water swim will take place on July 9th, starting at 7:00 AM.

As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Well, I know I’m too young to die. The other saying is “Older but no wiser.” Now, that rings true. I'm old enough to forget how hard this swim was until I started training. The mind says one thing, but the body, well, at 5:00AM, the body says go back to sleep. So what do I do? Jump in the water. Why?

There are two great reasons. The Hospice Children's and Family Bereavement Services and the Maggie Fischer Scholarship at St Anthony's School are two great causes that this event raises funds for. Helping to support these motivates me to train to complete this 5.5-mile swim.

The last time I did this 5.5-mile open-water swim, my daughter Devan kayaked for me. She would keep me going by yelling, “Failure-is-not-an option.” So today, I jump in the water, knowing that failure is NOT an option.

So yes, once again, I will attempt to complete this 5.5-mile swim. Did I mention that it is 5.5 miles!! Anyone can do 5 miles. It is that last half mile that’s the killer.

This year, I will have my daughter Danielle kayaking for me. She probably will not be as kind. But every time I look up to breathe, I’ll have a smile on my face, knowing that she is there supporting me.

Any support you can lend is greatly appreciated and will only help me smile even wider.

Aquatically Yours!!
