Mission Accomplished!
Thank you to everyone who helped Swim 4 Vets, help Father Joe's Village. We raised $1,437 for the homeless veterans. Swim 4 Vets is honored and humbled by your generosity. After touring Father Joe's Village and learning about all of the programs that they have in place to help our veterans we were honored to have helped.
Our swim was a success! Unofficial time was 12 hours, 3 minutes and 34 seconds. We started at 11:30PM from Catalina Island and each of us swam 2 hours each. Diana, Amber and Mike had some sickness on the boat as the water was very choppy with 5 foot swells causing the boat to rock quite a bit. Once each of us were off the boat swimming all sea sickness went away. A 1/4 mile out from the landing site we all jumped in and joined Dan who was swimming the last leg of our swim. Dan tagged Diana via a high-five and Diana climbed out onto the rocks to dry land, held up her arms to signal the end of the swim and for the officials to stop the clock.
Enjoy the photos below and stay tuned for Swim 4 Vets next swim challenge. Looking at you, New York!
