Maury McKinney recently swam the entire length of Lake Winnipesauke here in New Hampshire. It was incredible! We awoke at 2:50am, met at 4:00am, and we were all ready to go by 5am. He swam from Center Harbor to Alton Bay, which is 20.5 miles. It took him 12.5 hours, at roughly 2.2 miles per hour. He never rested on a boat, but continually hydrated, ate, and floated to regain energy. He has an immense passion for the water, can you tell? His motive was to start bringing awareness to the White Mountain Aquatics. The main goal is to bring a pool facility to the Mount Washington Valley area. Thank you Maury, this day was incredible, inspirational, and I hope to be doing laps in a full size pool here someday in the near future. And thank you to everyone who helped throughout the day.
