Hi Naji,
Errol here - our son is training to swim the Brooklyn to Manhattan race (East River) under the Brooklyn Bridge in August. His time in the pool is excellent. Any words of wisdom?

Hey Naji,
Congratulations on completing your first marathon swim, that is truly an amazing accomplishment. Though I am a swimming coach and Triathlete who promotes, encourages and coordinates open water swim workouts and competition, I have yet to swim beyond 1.2 miles in an open water competition myself. I'm inspired by your example (and that of Charlie the Tuna, wow) and will register for my first 5K Swim, at the Swim Miami Open water event, in Key Biscayne Florida, April 17, 2010.

Hi, Naji:
this is the 65 year old grannie from Arizona who swam Alcatraz to San Francisco for drowning prevention. You can check out my website: www.granniegatorhead.wordpress.com
Thank you all you do!
