Summary

  • This is the index page for a blog post series chronicling my journey as a swimmer, from almost dying by drowning to chasing my dream of swimming Alcatraz.
  • Along the way, I became a triathlete, lifeguard, scuba diver, freediver, and Wilderness EMT, greatly improving my water confidence and competence.
  • It is never too late to learn how to swim. Just do so safely under professional supervision.
  • Even more importantly, it is never too late to elevate your ambitions and begin believing in yourself again.
