World Record Swim

Congratulations swimmers on completing two new World Records: Yuko's 82 k lake swim and the 100k Relay. Unofficial certificates signed by Lucky are available at the lake and official certificates will be available after the records are certified.

What a fun weekend. So many stories. Thanks again to all of our volunteers, friends, and brave swimmers who entered the food chain. The relay was well represented by a mix of women and men. The oldest was 76 and the youngest was 9. Only two known mishaps. One fully clothed swimmer fell off the dock, and one swimmer got sick in the garbage can. No monsters or gators spotted. Amazingly, after her record, a little sleep and a meal of sushi and ice cream, Yuko swam with Jake and Lucky for the last lap of the relay swim.

Photos will be posted on Luckyslakeswim.com and shared on http://www.flickr.com/groups/100kswimrelay/.

This year the relay was about setting the distance record. Next time it will be about a speed record. Maybe men vs women, or two teams racing. Any ideas?
