Pacific Open Water Swim Co. on Instagram: "Kudos to Christine who completed a 7hr training swim as her last long swim in preparation for her English Channel attempt next month. Christine is from Florida and like many swimmers, came to San Francisco for our cooler water temperatures to get training and fine-tuning for her upcoming English Channel crossing.
