Hurrah!!! I mentioned last week that for POC they encourage us to be able to swim a mile in the ocean. Well this week, only my second time swimming, I actually made it to complete my mile!!! They don't really care how you swim as long as you make it, so I did at least half of the swim on my back. I never really learned proper swim strokes, so I think that I am actually faster that way! Feels good to have that behind me, but I've certainly been feeling my muscles for the last couple days!!

Hi Lisa ... Glad you made it!!! I know how it is to keep up with all the emails from folks, so no need to respond. Just know that I am excited for you and following along on your journey.

Wow! A mile is a LONG swim to do in the ocean... Good job!

Very cool, Lisa. Congrats! I took swim lessons this summer because I knew it would be a valuable skill to have when we move overseas. Now that I know that POC requires a mile swim, I'm even more glad that I did it. :-)
