I swam competitively back in my younger days so sure, no problem. Now, not a chance.

Yes it is. Trick is to not breathe out all your air so you can maintain your buoyancy. Last time I went to Florida I floated around for a couple of hours with a mask and snorkel, burned the fuck out of my back.

Not real smart to go out that far all by yourself. This guy is very lucky.

You can do anything if you put you're mind to it, or so I hear.

Put your Kindle in a plastic bag and the miles will just fly by.

You read a book while floating in salt water? Why not just read it on the beach?

I have swam a couple of 5Ks, but I don't know if I could make 9 miles without food and water.
