Can you swim 8.8 miles?

Question

I want to swim from Maui to Lana'i. How long do you think it would it take? Would you go? Why- Why not?

Answer 1

i can do it, do i want to, h**l no

Answer 2

Thats about how much I swim in practice everyday. Two practices a day, six days a week. I am a year round competitive swimmer and I could handle that. My practices are 2 hours 30 mins.

Answer 3

^^  I agree with everything she says!  I wouldn't drown, as I'm good at pacing, but still...

Answer 4

h**l no!  I would drown for sure...

If you decide to attempt this...no, just don't do it!  It would take forever, you would be out in the open water and you could get eaten, caught in a storm, any number of terrible things could happen to you.

Answer 5

8.8 miles would be a long swim, but as a competitive swimmer I would be able to handle it. However, I would probably want to swim it with another swimmer, and also with a boat traveling beside me with proper precautions.
