Just keep swimming

The 100-mile swimmers are back, and this year they added four new members to the team. Carol Bailey, Teresa Cheng, Marc Soriano, Reva Sinha, Sophie McCollum, Natalie Cheng, and Kathy Cane (pictured, from left; not pictured: Audrey Tedore) completed Bellaire Family Aquatic Center’s 100-Mile Swim Challenge. Last year, Bellaire Barracudas swim coach and social worker McCollum recruited Cane, Soriano, and Tedore and the group committed to swimming 100 miles within six months (for more, read Going the Distance: Diving into a challenge together by Michelle Casas Groogan, July 2023). It was such a rewarding experience that they agreed to do it again, this time doubling the size of the team. Eight swimmers juggled work and family schedules and still managed to complete the rigorous challenge. Who knows how many will commit next year?
