[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 456650, member: 432"] I saw that story. Depending on your body you may be able to last longer in that situation than someone else. Growing up I have always been able to swim for as long as I can remember. When I was young I could not float at all like some people could. I have a friend who is very fit and has entered a lot of marathons and bike races. He entered a triathlon once and says he will never do that again. He can swim but as soon as he stops swimming he said he sinks like a rock. He said the other swimmers would take a little break or ease up here and there to refresh but he could not do that during the swim. He could keep pace on the run and bike ride fine but swim was too much. This woman is lucky to have made it. She is lucky to not have been seriously injured in the fall overboard enough to hamper her ability to swim/tread water for 10 hours. She is lucky there were no hungry fishes in the area. I am glad she made it. [/QUOTE]
