Admiration

I have a lot of admiration for the swimmer who attempted on more than one occassion to swim from Cuba to the United States of America. This latest attempt was cut short by 55 miles to Key West. When I heard her speak on television, she sounded like a very determined woman who would go after a task as if she would finish. I believe she could have finished, if she did not have the factors like jellyfish and storms to stop the progress. This wasn't her only attempt, but she was willing to try. Some people would not even try to accomplish a task. They may be safe, but would never risk to reach the ultimate goal. I wish her well and hope she inspires others to strive for their goals.

  1. I wonder if she went in the summertime because the water is warmer. I have heard that the cold water of the English Channel is a problem for the Channel swimmers. I agree that she is to be admired for having the courage to attempt the swim. Hopefully on her next attempt she will be successful. As they say, if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
