This picture says it all, cold, cloudy, choppy, people everywhere, can’t wait until next year.

Do we know how many swimmers were pulled out the water ?

Pulled out? I know of three.

“Repositioned”–a couple hundred. (That is, picked up and moved over closer to where they could swim in.)

Hey Cathy,

I noticed than 1250 people were listed at the arrival. I thought that more than 1400 were registered. I was wondering when the 150 dropped out ?

Thanks

Those 150 never picked up their packets and therefore, never got on the boat.
