To take a break from some of the more serious questions we’ve posed in the past, we wanted to engage the open water swimming community in a silly subject. The “Ask the Community” series poses questions, from the silly to the serious, to the open water swimming community around the world. In this edition of the “Ask the Community” series, we ask the fun question -- “How much would someone have to pay you to never swim again?” Not everyone appreciated the question, but we got some fun responses from some of our favorite open water swimmers.
