A Non-Swiming Swim Day: July 11

Today we were scheduled to swim from Baseline Lake to Hudson Mills MetroPark. It was scrubbed last night due to very low water in that portion of the river. The rains keep missing us, which is nice for the swim, but dreadful for the river, gardeners, and farmers!
Instead we had a beautiful session with WFUM, the University of Michigan's PBS television station. Jennifer White interviewed me about the swim, while the crew filmed it. We were staged right along the river in the Picnic Grove area. They were very professional and creative. They told me that the documentary is part of a series on people doing unusual feats. One that is already ready to go is about a woman who walked the entire length of the Great Wall of China. The series will air in October. Both the HRWC and I are honored that they are including our project.
