“It was AWESOME. We both succeeded,” recalled Elaine Kornbau Howley about her certified Ice Swim in Boston Harbor with Jerome Leslie.“It was an amazing experience. I’m just thrilled. We’re still retelling tales.”
Leslie and Howley‘s exploits were confirmed by the Massachusetts Open Water Swimming Association.
The swim by the pair of Nahant Knuckleheads qualifies both of the intrepid extreme swimmers to receive the prestigious red International Ice Swimming Association jacket.
