Ka’iwi Channel swim

A Welcome Home Party was held for our Ka’iwi Channel swimmer, Doug McConnell and our support kayaker, Don Macdonald at Francesca’s in Barrington, Illinois.  Hosted by Phillips Menswear of Barrington, our guys were interviewed by Terry Owens and the audience was allowed questions and answers.  Recovered and rested, hear first hand what they saw and what it was like to swim in truly wild and open ocean.

Open Water Swimming

Open water swimming, and open water marathon swimming, is the fastest growing sport in the world and these men are pioneers.  Hear stories from the English Channel, the Catalina Channel, the Circumnavigation of Manhattan Island and, now, the Ka’iwi Channel.  Also, you will be able to see a selection of the most beautiful open water swimming photographs in the world.

Douglas McConnell is available for public speaking events.
