WHY BLS? I want to swim a long ocean swim.

WHO IS YOUR PILOT AND CREW? Pilot - John Swirbalus. I’m still firming up my crew.

WHERE ARE YOU SWIMMING FOR YOUR BLS TRAINING? Rye Beach, Dover Pool, Mendums pond, Kingston Pond.

SWIMMING FUN FACT: When I was 8 years old I almost drowned on a family camping trip. I didn’t go back in the water the rest of that trip. But I put that behind me. Last year I swam the Nubble Light Challenge sans wetsuit for a qualifying swim for the BLS.
