One of favorite charities is CAF (Challenged Athletes Foundation) and today our tri club held a beach BBQ in conjunction with a CAF ocean swim. This is chance for Challenged Athletes who may be inexperienced or new to ocean swimming to get a chance to get in the ocean with some experienced swimmers. Triathletes are teamed up with an interested CAF swimmer and they buddy swim on the buoy line at Big Corona Beach.
Kari and Chris swam with a CAF athlete that is new to swimming however an amazing runner and soccer player despite losing his foot to a work accident. We had a good time swimming, the waves we small and the water was and awesome 73 degree’s.
Afterward we had time to go for an 8 mile run along Newport Coast before we ate, what a great day to be at the beach!
