Marilyn's 2018-22 Swim Blog

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 struggling with exhaustion (18:45 swim duration) and hypothermia Marilyn finished the swim becoming the first Canadian to complete this challenge as well as first Canadian to achieve the California Triple Crown of Marathon swimming. Our greatest thanks to our crew who displayed magnificent skills and cooperation.
