    • As a kid, it was all unspoken for her.
  • Bonnie has always swam, and for decades, was a competitive swimmer.
    • She hopes to swim forever.
      • She also surfs, paddle boards, and more. Anything to get her in the water!
        • Her husband is also a big swimmer.
    • Some of her competitive, PR-setting swims, or particularly challenging swims are huge accomplishments.
  • Growing up where Vinnie grew up, everyone needed to know how to swim as a survival skill.
    • Vinnie took scuba classes when he had the chance.
  • Bonnie tailed two spear fishermen, which was a fascinating experience.
    • Hunting your own food is an amazing and important experience.
      • It’s too easy to go to the grocery store.
