2014 WOWSA Awards Nomination

"Elaine Howley presents a uniquely skilled and much-appreciated package in the open water swimming world. She not only plans, attempts, governs and completes everything from ice swims to unprecedented marathon swims, but she also eloquently writes about them from a first-person perspective. Howley showcases her story-telling talents for numerous publications while sharing the inner thoughts and emotions of open water swimmers due to her own experiences. Her valuable skill set offered to organizations from the Marathon Swimmers Federation to U.S. Masters Swimming enable the terra firma world to better understand the open water community. Her own 54.7 km crossing of Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho was an example of how she brings the sport closer to the general public. For her ability to accurately describe the thoughts and perspectives of open water swimmers to a larger audience, for organizing and completing swims that stir up the imagination of swimmers and non-swimmers alike in her local community of Boston and beyond, for her unprecedented 20 hour 25 minute crossing of Lake Pend Oreille, Elaine Howley is a worthy nominee for the 2014 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.''
