Sure, running from one end of the city to another is a chore. But how about swimming it?
That’s what members of the city’s South End Rowing Club did this morning, when they swam from the Bay Bridge to Kelly’s Cove at Ocean Beach as part of their 2010 Long Swim Schedule.
The 10 mile swim took them about 2.5 hours. According to their website, they “swim year round in all conditions with only a swimsuit and a thermal cap.” Brrrr!
If swimming in your skivvies doesn’t appeal, this hardy group, that’s been around since 1873,also offers handball, rowing and running.
Congrats to the South End swimmers and thanks to ob-kc.com for the great photo. See more pics at stokereport (thanks Hugh!).
