I plan to swim Lake Nipissing from the French R. (Campbells Bay) north-east to Marathon beach in North Bay, Ontario, July 14-19, 2022, 28kms. It has never been swum before. In 2020, I was foiled 3 km from shore by a freak gale with 3m waves and 65kph winds. I am fundraising for The Nipissing Trackers branch of the Nipissing Association for Disabled Youth, a volunteer-run skiing program for disabled youth.

Last swim
Despite the air being at its coolest, I made my mind up that I would swim more than an hour for my last shift. I actually felt warmer, probably because I sprinted and kicked hard. The sky was lightening while I swam. I figured I would be relieved to finish but I was surprised to realize that I was sad that this challenging and fun event was over.
