We are thrilled to celebrate Ryan’s outstanding achievement in his recent open-water mile swim! This was Ryan’s second time participating in the event, and he made an incredible improvement, shaving off an impressive 14 minutes from last year's time. Ryan’s dedication and determination were evident as he took on the mile with confidence, and he’s rightfully proud of his progress!

Adding to the excitement, Ryan completed the swim alongside two amazing buddies who swam with him last year and returned to support him again. The camaraderie and encouragement within the adaptive sports community were truly inspiring, making the event even more special. Ryan’s journey in open-water swimming reminds us all of the power of perseverance and teamwork.

Congratulations, Ryan, on this fantastic achievement! 

We can’t wait to see what you accomplish next.
