NAME: Amy Meskill

HOMETOWN: I am a rookie BLS swimmer. I grew up on Massachusetts south coast, and as a competitive swimmer, the BLS swim always intrigued me. I was a sprinter in competition, so I didn’t think it was ever a possibility until I met a great group of open water swimmers in CT who have helped me towards my goals of swimming longer distances.

BLS EXPERIENCE: Rookie

WHO IS YOUR PILOT AND CREW? Al Creech (pilot), and Bob Meskill (crew)
