Stories from the WaterGary Golden's Marathon Swim Kayaking StorySend us a textIn his own words:Since searching Google for 'kayaking events' in 2011, I've been kayaking for swimmers first associated with IROC and now Kingdom Swims. So far, I’ve supported swimmers for nine, 10 or 15 mile Kingdom swimmers, seven Search for Memphre, multiple Swim the Kingdom, as well as Manhattan and Finger Lakes swimmers. In my other life, I've been a musician, college chaplain, and a counselor and special educator working with students with behavioral and/or academic challenges, as well as a spouse and a father, but now retired and studying Chinese. 2021-01-2256 min
Stories from the WaterNeil Agius' Marathon Swim StorySend us a textNeil Agius, 32, has been swimming competitively for the past 22 years. He took it so seriously that he found himself representing Malta on the Olympic team in Athens 2004. Neil currently holds the record for the Malta-Gozo-Malta swim. That’s only the official record, recorded. His humble persona has kept him out of the spotlight for other potential records. His career started from the age of 3, when he fell in a pool, nearly drowned and was sent off to swimming lessons the following day. Neil went on to co-found Swimming Workshop over ten yea...2021-01-2041 min

Stories from the WaterCheryl Coletti-Lawson's Marathon Swim StorySend us a textIt's hard to believe that it was just three years ago, at 50, that a friend convinced Cheryl to try a sprint triathlon. Having not swam since high school and with her wetsuit on backwards, she tackled the 300m in the water. And while the running particularly, and cycling, didn't stick, she keeps tackling one challenge after another in the water.It gave me goosebumps when Cheryl described the newly discovered sense of confidence she developed after completing her swim across the width of Lake Tahoe last year.
