Christopher Swain...
UNPRECEDENTED SWIM FOR RIVER PROTECTION AND RESTORATION COMPLETED
Congratulations to ProMotion Team Member Christopher Swain for being the first person ever to swim the Columbia's entire 1,243 mile length. He estimated it took him 1.8 million calories and over 2 million freestyle swim strokes to reach the goal. The purpose of the Swim was to increase public awareness of the state of the Columbia River, to highlight water quality threats and solutions, and to generate support for river protection and restoration. "We need to get to know our river, to make it part of our lives. If enough people have relationships with the Columbia," says Swain, "Protection and restoration will take care of themselves."
