Alumni Spotlight: Kauffman ('07) Swims The English Channel
gopurpleaces.com/news/2023/9/6/womens-swimming-diving-alumni-spotlight-kauffman-07-swims-the-english-channel.aspx
I believe less than 2,000 people have completed this ocean swim in the last 150 years. The swim itself is a little over 21 miles. The water is cold, sometimes rough and full of jelly fish.
This week, former UE swimming and diving assistant coach (and current Associate A.D. for Compliance & Student Services) Kim Smith is in England, supporting former Purple Ace Cari Kauffman ('07) in her attempt to swim the English Channel. Smith is providing daily updates on Cari's attempt, and they will be chronicled here on GoPurpleAces.com and on social media.
She should be starting soon….”…We are scheduled to meet at 3:00am (9:00pm CST) with an estimated departure of 5:00am. From there, Cari will be taken to the beach and the swim will begin.”
