The 2021 Open Water Highlights<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Dan D’Addona<\/span><\/p>\n
Although the Tokyo Olympic Games commanded the spotlight in 2021, there were many other open water highlights throughout the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n
ELIZABETH BEISEL MAKES HISTORIC SWIM, RAISES $130K<\/strong><\/span>
\nOlympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel became the first woman to swim to Block Island, a 10.4-mile trip off the coast of Rhode Island. The Block Cancer swim, done in memory of her late father, raised more than $130,000 for cancer research and awareness via a partnership with Swim Across America.<\/p>\n
Beisel\u2019s swim lasted five hours, 19 minutes, departing from Matunuck Beach just after 6 a.m. on Sept. 26. She was greeted on the island by her mother, Joannie, and brother, Danny. A group of supporters also awaited her at Ballad\u2019s Beach Resort.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt amazing the first three hours,\u201d Beisel told the Providence Journal. \u201cI was like, \u2018Ah, this is cake.\u2019 Then the current started to pick up. The swell started to pick up. There was a bit of a (riptide) coming into Block Island, and that\u2019s kind of when I started to get discouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Beisel, who had never participated in an open-water race before, is a native of Rhode Island. She won a silver medal in the women\u2019s 400 IM and a bronze in the 200 backstroke at the 2012 London Olympics. The former University of Florida standout also swam at the 2008 and 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n
Beisel\u2019s father, Ted Beisel, died in July after a battle with pancreatic cancer. After her work commentating on the Tokyo Olympics for NBC, Elizabeth Beisel turned her attention to the Block Island swim.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just wish my dad was here, honestly,\u201d Beisel said. \u201cI know that he\u2019s here in spirit. Everybody who has fought cancer and who\u2019s beat cancer\u2014this is for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
ERICA SULLIVAN, DAVID HERON WIN 10K OPEN WATER NATIONAL TITLES<\/strong><\/span>
\nErica Sullivan (Sandpipers of Nevada) and David Heron (Mission Viejo) took the 2021 USA Swimming Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s 10K open water national titles, April 16, in Fort Myers, Fla.<\/p>\n
Sullivan, 20, a University of Texas commit, led the women\u2019s race from start to finish, winning in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 43 seconds. Teammate Katie Grimes, 15\u2014the youngest American Olympic swimmer since Amanda Beard (14) in 1996 and who finished fourth in the 800 free in Tokyo\u2014took the 18-and-under national title with her 2:05:25 fourth-place showing at nationals.<\/p>\n
Heron, 26, held off 20-year-old Brennan Gravley in the men\u2019s race by one second, winning in 2:05:24.<\/p>\n
JAMES SAVAGE, 14, YOUNGEST TO COMPLETE LAKE TAHOE TRIPLE CROWN<\/strong><\/span>
\nOn Aug. 1, 14-year-old James Savage of Los Banos in northern California became the youngest person to swim the entire length of Lake Tahoe\u2014a distance of 21.3 miles.<\/p>\n
Savage, who completed the crossing in about 12 hours, has now successfully swum all three distances of the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown: the length, the width and Vikingsholm, which transverses the southern portion of the lake, known for its pine tree-lined beaches and ski resorts. Each swim is more than 10 miles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no doubts whatsoever,\u201d mother Jillian Savage told the Tahoe Daily Tribune after her son\u2019s most recent accomplishment. \u201cHe\u2019s been swimming almost every day\u2014six, seven days a week\u2014since he was 8. With open water, it\u2019s just what he does. But mentally, even though it takes a whole bunch of us to make the swim possible, he\u2019s really out there by himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Savage swam the width of the lake last year at age 13, also becoming the youngest to do so. And at age 8, he swam in the San Francisco Bay from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco, achieving his very first open water goal!<\/p>\n
