Nine Bay Swim–Part 2 of 3

During the swim, Luis Alfredo Estavillo Chavez was “monitored” by his swimming coach and “shadow” by a security force to protect his safety natural “predators.” However, Luis also had other creatures “shadowing” him, the Dolphins, which Luis has always viewed as a good sign.

 

The swim lasted many hours (about 10 and 1/2 hrs.) but ended on San Agustin Beach.  Here is a photo of Luis at the beach of San Agustin.

More photos are just a click away –

On the beach, Luis was greeted by many, including this woman of personage.

And later, Luis stopped to thank and pose with the “army” men who protected him on route from natural predators.

However, we need to “summarize” by reminding people that Luis was a “man with 2 missions,” one to establish an “open water swim” record for the Bays of Huatulco, and the other to be of assistance to the “children of San Felipe.”  He said that he used as his “mantra” the expression, “Cada Brazada, Un Aliento Para La Niñez,” which loosely translated which means with, ”Each Movement of the Arms, A Breathe For Childhood.”

Luis is really swimming so the children of San Felipe can produce their own food and have sufficient energy to learn in school each day.  All dontations he receives as a result of his successful swim will be used to futher the food and educational programs these children.  If you would like to meet them look below –
