I’m pleased to announce that Jay completed the 16km trial swim on Sunday, June 22 in five hours and forty-two minutes. This is roughly one third of the distance of the actual Lake Ontario swim. Jay swam against the current for the first half of the trial swim and therefore had a much easier swim on the return trip. Now, Jay is officially sanctioned by Solo Swims of Ontario Inc. to undertake the crossing.
Hey Jay! You have a whole bunch of people in Calgary rooting for you! We pray the weather will be calm and the water warm and the praises of God will keep you awake all the time. What an inspiration you are to us!

Way to go Jay. What a wonderful accomplishment – across the lake!!! Thank God for your safe arrival in Ontario.
I suppose that I should start to train hard if I plan to ride in Motion Makes Cents with you next year.
Keep well. Jim Weldon
