Gords Swim Log

In 1988, his high school swim coach, Robyn Masters, encouraged Gridley to keep a log of his swims, and ever since then he has done just that. He started with a notebook, and over the years converted those handwritten workouts on to his blog where he continues to log workouts, adventures, and personal rants about open water swimming.

Bear Lake Monster Swim

The Bear Lake Monster Swim is a 7-mile point-to-point open water swimming race across the width of Bear Lake (home of the Bear Lake Monster). the open water swim is open to solo swimmers and 2 to 6-person relay teams. All solo swimmers must provide their own support paddler. Relay teams are responsible for providing their own support craft, large enough to hold all team members. Swimmers will be shuttled with their paddlers from the Bear Lake Marina to Cisco Beach. The swim will start in the water at Cisco Beach and will finish just north of the Bear Lake Marina on the opposite side of the lake.
