Will President Obama Join Us At West Neck Beach This Summer?

Don't you just love starting rumors? Well, here's one for the books...

President Barack Obama plans to join the Huntington Masters Swim Team for an Open Water Swim some time this summer... though I think there was a phrase like "if his schedule permits".

What the heck, two wars, an economy in chaos -- an Open Water Swim in Cold Spring Harbor might just be the thing to help clear his head. You can't play basketball ALL the time -- it puts a real strain on the knees!

Mr. President, the invitation is open and, if you do decide to join us, we'll throw in a 2009 Open Water T-Shirt. See link on the right to get your T-shirt BEFORE it becomes a Presidential Collector's edition!
