Thoughts and Prayers
San Mateo Swimmer severely injured
Maui Channel Swim
John Coughlin of the San Mateo Athletic Club was severely injured when he was sucked in the propeller wash of a nearby boat. The 41 year old swimmer from Half Moon Bay was about the finish the 9.6 mile Maui Channel Swim.
I have heard that John is doing well. He is out of ICU and in the regular part of the hospital. There was pizza and Coke delivered to his room one night. John received note from the Australian relay team that won the Maui channel swim - he was stoked about that.
Our thoughts and prayers are with John and his family. As information becomes available, it will be posted on the web site.
