Lake George : Clean Water

Hi everyone,
After a successful April crossing of the beautiful cobalt blue Hawaiian Molokai Channel (with Elizabeth Fry) and a successful 2-person Swim Across the Sound relay (with my twin sister, Beth);

I’m finishing up my 2016 Open Water Swim Season with the

 

Lake George Marathon.  

This is a long 32 mile lake, so we're planning on another 17 hour-ish swim.

 

Whether you are an open water swimmer or someone who likes to paddle on a raft, or take a shower with clean water ... we all can benefit from keeping our water clean.

 

 

I’m fundraising for the Darrin Freshwater Institute of RPI.            Donation information can be found at:

DFWI is a multidisciplinary environmental research center of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute dedicated to understanding the structure and function of aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric systems. Their primary research focus is on the ecological consequences of environmental perturbations due to human activities in the Northeastern United States.  http://www.rpi.edu/dept/DFWI/

They are doing some pretty interesting studies to keep our water clean.

Come follow us during the swim, all info is on my blog (below): you will be able to track our progress during our night swim into the following day.
