Today is your day Boomer! He may not be a Baby Boomer, but-at age 54-he is pretty close......so, we can pay tribute to him. He is Brent Hobbs and he swims 1.8km, about a half hour, to work every day! Yes, and he does it both ways and.....he drags a laptop and a change of clothes in a waterproof bag as well. This guy is inspiring! He says "I do marathon swims. I train for triathlon. If there's an epic snowfall, I'll cross-country ski to work. I look for innovative, non-carbon-polluting ways to get to work, and it's healthy." He is from Kelowna, BC so he swims in Okanagan Lake which is usually calm in the morning and very wavy and windy in the afternoon, so it is challenging. But it is also very cool on hot days and he swims under the crowded lake-crossing bridge which is normally slow and packed with cars. What a great role model! Watch out for boats Brent. Cheers!
