Aimeson King Racing in Lac St. Jean

Wow, do they take their open water swimming seriously in Roberval, Quebec.  Aimeson King is competing in the 10km World Cup race in Roberval, or specifically Lac St.-Jean tomorrow, July 25, as well as the historic 'Traversée Internationale du lac St.-Jean', which consists of a 32 km race, straight across the lake.  This will be the 59th annual Traversée event in Roberval, and it is a big event for them every year.  The whole town showed up tonight, as you can see in the pictures, to celebrate the swimmers and the upcoming events.  I will post results as they come in, but make sure you send Aimeson some warm thoughts, especially on Saturday, because 6.5 or 7 hours racing in water under 20 degrees Celcius can be very cold!!!
