Yes. Not until after I meet with my surgeon again on 9/6. They don't want me soaking the incision until after that.

Carry Falls Reservoir. Swam from the boat to the shore in the background, about 800m. Better snow soon before I drown myself.

When flow-through pools—installed in rivers and filled by their currents—lined the perimeter of Manhattan at the turn of the last century, those static wooden structures were largely used as bathing facilities for the immigrant community. And if they were not habitat friendly, they brought people into the river.
Pete Seeger—musician, activist, and founding member of River Pool at Beacon, Inc.—remembered seeing pictures of those pools and thinking
“The more people swim in the river, the more people would be pushing to clean it.”

On Saturday I will attempt to cross the Hudson in the 19th Annual Great Newburgh to Beacon Swim. Check out the River Pool and consider contributing to the effort. A big thank you to Harvey and Brownski for supporting me. It’s about to get real.
