Going With Current Proves Beneficial for Ocean Mile Swimmers

Following last year’s Barnegat Light Ocean Mile Swim, Lucas Schiff ended up in the emergency room of a hospital.

“Last year, it was really rough and I swallowed a lot of water,” said the 10-year-old from Arlington, Va., the youngest competitor in this year’s race on July 25. “This time, my dad told me to blow bubbles when I swallowed any water.”
