I am training to swim the English Channel in the summer of 2009 when i am 16 years old. My tide is booked for July 28, 2009 through August 6,2009.
I am a student at Sacred Heart Prep in Atherton, California where I play water polo and swim on the men's varsity swim team. I started open water swimming with Water World Swim Club in San Francisco when I was 13 years old. I have completed one international swim and seveal in the United States, including 12 different Alcatraz swims, the 3 mile Gator Man swim in La Jolla California, a 10k and a 1 mile sprint in Fort Myers Florida, the United States Open Water 10k National Championship in Lake Harriot Minneapolis, and the Santa Barbara Channel from Anacapa Island to Oxnard in a time of 5 hours 3 minutes and 53 seconds, where I set a new record time by breaking the old one by 15 minutes.
