I'm sure you'll do fine. Have a nice swim.

Dude. It's WAY too late to feel calm. Do you know what they call this swim?

"The Sharkfest."

i'd be nervous, too, lol!! how many miles is the swim?

wow...wow

you could always pretend that you are an escaped prisoner for extra motivation. =)

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

that doesn't seem that far...emphasis on "seem". how many laps would that be in a pool?

sadly, i have to go the library now :(. but i should be back in an hour or so, and maybe you'll still be around them...

Eeee, good luck!

That calculates to around 108 lengths of a normal pool, 54 lengths of an Olympic-sized pool. That's... 2700 yards. My favorite swim in high school was the 500 Freestyle, which was twenty laps and took me about 7.5 minutes when I was at my peak. I've timed a mile and a half in the pool at about 45 minutes, give or take, so I am guessing 50 to an hour in the ocean.

Thank you!

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! I will see what I can do. Dad and I (he's swimming it with me) could have some piratey fun with this... *ponders*

[arisingstarlet.livejournal.com]

Oh, because it's been a few years since I've done it, and I like having something to strive for, and it's actually kind of fun, plus, there's the added bonus-bonus of being able to tell people I did it. ^__^

I didn't know you were into swimming. Is that Alkatraz you're planning to swim from? Good Luck with your venture tomorrow.

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Yup, Alcatraz prison. Only it's a preserve, so they will be dropping us in the water about 100 feet off the shore. We can't touch the island. *laughs* And then we swim back. ^_^

I'm pretty sure there are, though I think the cold water and the tides have always been the bigger issues. But there will be hundreds of people swimming with us, and kayakers circling around to help us out, so I'm feelign alright about it. I did it once before, about four years ago, I think. It was fun, if FREEZING! O.o
