A bunch of people attempted (and many actually did) to swim a 7-mile race around Lido Key for the inaugural “Swim Around Lido Key” race on Sunday.
Former collegiate distance swimmer Heather Roka, 28, was the first overall female.
“The conditions today were perfect,” said Roka, who swims in Fort Myers. “The sun was out and the current was helping you most of the way. Probably the most challenging part was that final push through the channel — you were so close to the end but you felt like you’d never get there.”
