Who Can Go the Distance?

 

The key question to be resolved at this Wednesday's GOP Presidential Debate in Milwaukee is: who can go the distance?

We are here to help weed out the field, to determine who will sink, and who will swim.

Wanna make a splash, and grab some media attention for your package of policy proposals?  We invite any candidate who will be in town on Wednesday to come swim with us a mile, and prove you're the guy (or gal) who can go the distance.  

Swimming reveals a lot about a candidate, and his or her character.  Many of our earliest presidents were open water swimmers (and, prior to cameras, they did such sans swimsuit).  There is a long history of presidents who were avid swimmers or lifeguards (such as Ronald Reagan).  JFK showed his grit and determination when he went for a long open water swim dragging behind him an injured crewmate on August 2, 1943. 

This too is a chance too for Ron DeSantis to walk on a beach, and prove he actually can leave footprints. 

If we get more than one candidate accepting the challenge, then we’ve got a real race.  Hopefully, either way, our invitation will make the debaters feel welcomed to Milwaukee (a Great City on a Great Lake), and give some an opportunity to realize how fabulous Lake Michigan is, and how important that its waters be protected, now and for generations to come. 

Note, only actual debate participants are invited.  Those individuals who are too weak and cowardly to even come to Milwaukee, or who are currently diqualified from appearing on a presidentail ballot per Section 3, Article XIV of the Constitution of the United States of America, are ineligible for this event.  Open water swimming is not for losers.  

Next swim(s): Regular Schedule:  Weekdays 6am and 6pm; weekends 8am and noon.  

Recent Water Temps:  Saturday, low 70s; Sunday, an invorgorating mostly 55 t0 60 degrees.  

Water Conditions: Beautiful and clear.

Swimmers at Recent Swims: Too many for me to list here as to the noon Saturday and Sunday swims, but it is great to see some new swimmers who came and swam with us (including Cozy and Sophia).  Others seen swimming one or the other day at noon:  Dragonfly, Moondawg, Capt'n, Diablo, Forger, Lt. MJ, OG=GQ, Ala Mode, Real Canadian (Jena), Faux Canadian (Megan), Mystery Man, Kinzie, Cozy, Hurricane, Susan, Capt'n, Bobber, Eric, Ziggy, Friend of Zig, Syncro, We Tack, with local celebrity appearance by Aquaman.
