2.5 Mile Labor Day Swim

On Labor Day Jen swam 2.5 miles with the WSU women's swim team on the Snake River. She did a really amazing job and said that she wasn't really too tired when she finished. There were two boats and two jet skis following them the entire way just in case they got tired.

Here's a picture of Jen and I before the race started. (As you can see, I did not swim.)

Here you can see the swimmers off in the distance, they are really far away next to the boats. If you click on the picture you can see the swimmers a little better.


Here is Jen swimming away, about a half an hour into it.


This is a sign some of the people had for the swimmers. I'm sure the swimmers were excited when they made it to the sign.


Finishing up the swim...she wasn't even tired!


Drying off.


Feeling good after a long swim.


Jen did a great job. It took her about one hour for the swim. I can't even imagine swimming for that long, I would have been tired walking as far as she swam. Good job Jen!
