Somerset had 12 swimmers in this year's event: 4 solo swimmers, 5 swimming in duos and 3 swimming in a team. They all completed the swim. Along the way they also managed to raise over $11,000 for the Cure for Life Foundation (research into brain cancer).
This article gives an overview of their swims, some photos taken before, during and after the swims, the thinking and effort behind the fund raising, and a view of the swims by one of the paddlers. More stories from the perspective of the swimmers will follow.
