The swim and its crew

Lev's crew set this swim up with WatchMyUltra, so the page was the swim's own tracking page and the people who followed it did so here.

How these numbers were made

Nothing here is official. Every time, distance and speed on this site is worked out from the swimmer's GPS tracker (a device on a boat reporting every few minutes), and the conditions come from public forecast models, not from instruments in the water. The crew's log is the swim's own record, and a sanctioning body such as Solo Swims of Ontario is what makes a crossing official. Where a crew has given us a start or finish time we use theirs and say so; everything else is our best reading of the dots. A crossing becomes official only when Solo Swims Ontario ratifies it.
