Oct 11, 2011... and still swimming at Cherry Street!!!

Seven braved the most inviting conditions at Cherry Beach this fall. This is likely the latest in the season a group has swum, EVER, at Cherry Beach. The weather was remarkable for an October morning; sunny, warm and no wind. The water was 64/18 and calm – like glass. The Group swam from point to point – about 2 km. Both Paul and Juan managed their swim without wetsuits, which seemed a challenge to those of us in wetsuits – Congrats boys. All in all, a lovely way to spend Thanksgiving.

I founded LOST Swimming because I like open water swimming and would like to see it grow and thrive in Lake Ontario. I started as a competitive swimmer as a kid and ended up getting as far as a silver medal at Nationals and going to the Olympic Trials in 1988. But I retired after that, I was sick of swimming. So I got into running marathons and have run over 35 to date, as well as a few ultra marathons, including the Marathon des Sables (7 day, ultra across the Sahara Desert). I also kind of fell into triathlons and have done a handful of Ironman tri's too. This gradually got me back in the water and in 2006 I took the plunge and attempted swimming the English Channel. I didn't quite make it across, but the circle was now complete and after 17 years I was a swimmer again! Although I still do plenty of pool swimming, I now much prefer open water swimming and like to say that open water swimming is to pool swimming, what trail running is to treadmill running! As a result I hope to encourage more people to join me for a dip in Lake Ontario as often as we can!
