Mann O’ Mann
Courtesy of Dr. Lucky Meisenheimer, Lake Cane, Florida. 80-year-old George Mann celebrated becoming a swimming octogenarian by completing a 1 km all-butterfly non-stop swim across Lake Cane in Orlando, Florida.
“In honor of this event, we have established the ButterflyMann award bumper sticker,” explained Dr. Lucky Meisenheimer. “It’s easy, swim 1 km butterfly, legally, with no swimming aids and you will get the bumper sticker. Oh yeah, we need confirmation by a reliable observer.”
Dr. Meisenheimer will also host the upcoming the 4th annual Lucky’s Lake Black Ops Frogman Swim (2 km or 5 km) on November 11th in Lucky’s Lake.
