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.

North Bay in sight

Left Manitou at 6;30pm with 8km remaining so earliest arrival time is approximately 10:30. Finally wind has shifted to southwest and is pushing her straight to Marathon beach where she trained 4 times in the heart of North Bay. Hope she can swim hard enough to prevent hypothermia.
