I am on a quest to raise awareness about veteran suicide and prevention. I have begun training for cross-country swimming and will have my first public swim July 16th (17 miles) in the Potomac river.

Good luck. That is a long swim!
Do you use googles, flippers?

For training, I am using mask, fins and snorkel. I am also swimming with both a heavy short and long sleeve t-shirt over my rash guard to build up my endurance and conditioning. I am doing 2.5 miles daily in a pool and will begin open water training within a week or so.
Being an adaptive athlete is great for my personal moral and hopefully making a difference as I go forward.

Just a quick follow up. The video is me finishing a swim yesterday at the spot I will take off from on July 16th at 0700. If you are of a mind to, please like my public FB page and share my quest with your friends. I believe we cannot get enough awareness to suicide prevention programs. Thanks
