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.

After 4 hours of swimming in 65F water Marilyn has covered 5 nautical miles or 6.1 regular miles. Her stroke is regular as usual around 60 per minute. Beautiful star filled night with calm water. She is nearly 1/3 across and had predicted that the swim would take 14 hours. She is on target to make that time. Shark shield is working but will need recharging soon.
Awesome! Looking forward to reading more updates!! Charge that shark shield!! ;)
