"In honor of his 62nd birthday, Don Milich challenged himself to swim 6.2 miles in a lake.
Sure, he hadnโt done much swimming since he stopped competing in high school meets at 15. But whatever he does, he likes to dive into the deep end, so to speak.
For instance, as an adult, Milich had kept in shape by lifting weights, running, rowing, bike riding and competing in tennis. He was so active that he proudly noted that his resting heart rate was in the 40s.
Still, before taking on this challenge, he played it safe and went to the doctor for a checkup.
All tests came back clear. After a few months of training, he dove into Lake Chatuge in north Georgia. Most of his family trailed him in a double-decker pontoon boat for a floating party, while his wife, Kylie Milich, and her brother followed much closer to make sure he didnโt go under."
