Big day! My first time #voting as a US citizen! A lot of people asked me why I became a citizen and didn’t just stay on a green card - and this was a big reason. I even got a mini round of applause for being a first-time voter!

I did it! I swam around Manhattan! I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make this swim happen, whether you were there on the day, donated or just sent me words of encouragement.

You can still donate to support BioBus! https://donate.biobus.org/paulaswims

I’m so excited to be able to fund raise for BioBus as I go. They bring interactive learning and mentoring to students who need it most, through mobile labs, in community labs, in classrooms, in parks and community gardens, in the rivers, and even online....

I’ve been training for years for this swim, swimming hundreds of miles in pools, rivers, lakes and the ocean. I’ve dealt with cramp, jellyfish stings and the cold, but also seen some amazing places, met some amazing people and had a lot of fun.
