Lauren and Alex first met swimming 100x100s. Yes, that's right, swimming over 6 miles in the pool together. It was not the most ideal time to get to know someone. Ten to fifteen seconds on the wall is not much time for small talk. Fortunately, fate would intervene and bring them back together to fulfill Lauren's dream of swimming Alcatraz. A mutual friend suggested that Alex come along for the swim and the rest is history. With every swim they became closer together and eventually fell in love.
