Posted 3:14 pm August 14th, 2009Lucky is such a fantastic guy! I loved the video it really inspired me. Since seeing the video I've gone out to Lucky's and it's everything the video makes it out to be and much more! I am inspired to get more involved with the Lake Cane Preservation Society which is raising funds to help keep Lake Cane (Lucky's Lake) healthy and vibrant! I certainly hope the "Enter the food chain" swim continues for a long time to come! Check out www.lakecane.info for more information about the preservation efforts. There is a raffle at Lucky's Sat. Aug. 13th to support Lake Cane! Come down for a swim and buy a few tickets!

Posted 10:52 pm July 27th, 2009Great video. Lucky, thanks for the opportunity to swim. It has been a great tool in my training for Ironman triathlons. Proud to say my name is on that wall and I also wear my 100k hat proudly. WE NEED MORE MIDNIGHT SWIMS!!!!!!! That was the best.
Thanks Growing Bolder for taking the time to to come out and give recognition where recognition is due. These swims are all about exposure to the sport. what a fun way to do it. Thanks again Lucky, and Marc at Growing Bolder.
