So the organizers of the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games contacted me a while ago about getting some open water swimmers for their commercial… check it out below!  Note that the fencing in the commercial is on the Navy St Pier where we swim too… so we’re all practically famous!  They also came back to me yesterday to let everyone know that the tickets go on sale on Dec 8th…

Open water swimming is July 11 (women’s) and July 12 (men’s)…

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!
