How's your swimming technique? Back stroke for the win?

It's 20-30 feet wide near its origin. I could handle that.

Nobody has ever done it.

I certainly could....
Where it meets at Lake Itasca, the river is between 20 and 30 feet wide.

If we are talking about any part of the Mississippi River that goes through Louisiana. If anyone says yes, I have to assume they have no idea how strong the current is.

Correct. Which is downriver.

Well... For comparison sake. The distance that she swam was only about 0.5 miles, the Ironman triathlon swim distance is 2.4 miles.
So the feat by this pyscho chick is impressive, but not astounding.

Per WWL it's been having mechanical problems.
Not sure if fixed. My handle is long outdated.

Do you just assume the current is straight down or something?
Posted on 6/10/19 at 12:31 pm to The Mick
Nope.
Posted on 6/10/19 at 12:31 pm to The Mick
I am sure I could do it. I think the focus needs to be on planning your route so the current sets you down on the opposite bank.

Correct. Which is downriver.
She swam south, but if she took the path they suggested, she was absolutely swimming against the current the entire time
There is no real physical way she possibly took the path they are saying
