This is a pretty low-key swim--about a dozen people participated last year. The fun part, though, is the week surrounding the event. Dan is taking the week off, swimming the open water event, then heading over to Hudson, IL, for the Evergreen Lake Tri on Saturday.

You are all more than welcome to stay at the Henry family cottage on Marblehead. Should be lots of good eating and lots of making fun of Dan's dad's inevitable sunburn.
