Like CFCF, SAA is a highly effective, driven, game-changing organization that empowers swimmers everywhere to join the war on cancer.
In 2008 I was so nervous - what goggles would I chose, would I be able to swim in a wetsuit, had I packed enough cloths to keep warm, would there be sharks, etc….? This year I was not the least bit concerned about goggles, wetsuit, sharks (ok, so maybe I was still nervous about the sharks…). Instead I was confident to face the 22 miles and whatever obstacles ahead with my teammates.
For me this year was special for another reason. Joining the event this year was a younger swimmer that I have coached for many years. After the event she enthusiastically reported, “ Not only was it an extremely fun team-bonding experience, but it made me realize that I can easily make a difference simply by doing something that I love. Hopefully I can do it again next year, and in a couple years partake in the Boston Harbor Swim.”
