Brooke Bennett Incognito On The Open Water
Brooke Bennett, the Olympic gold medalist in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the 800-meter freestyle and Olympic gold medalist in the 400-meter and 800-meter freestyles at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and budding television announcer, has dabbled in the open water winning the world-class competitive Tiburon Mile in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003. But she really showed her love of competition and support of open water swimming by flying across the country to be a feeder for Vincent Donnelly at the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships where she quietly and expertly went about providing hydration to her swimmer in the 10K.
