5 mile swim Miami to SoBe

On Sunday April 19th a group of 12 of us embarked on a great swimming/kayaking/paddleboarding feat, from Morningside to Rivo Alto Island on the Venetian way.  We're calling it a 5-mile swim, not sure of exact distance but it is between 4 and 5 mile for sure. We had 6 swimmers and a 6-person support group with 2 double kayaks and 2 paddle boards to make sure we kept hydrated and did not get hit by a cazy jet skier.  While we are all open water swimmers, it was the first time for most of us to swim that distance, and it felt great!  Here are the pics to prove it!

I can attest to the paddle board part... What a job! Fighting currents and paddling into the wind for some 3 hours was no easy feat... But none of our swimmers were ever in danger as a result of our little flotilla of guardians!  Well done to all! Laughing
