Meet Paul. He swims every day on Long Island, no matter the weather

|
Long Island swimmer

His name: Paul.

His age: 69

His hobby: swimming year-round, in rain, sleet or snow.

“Why do I do it? For fun. It’s exhilarating,” Paul says.

The Long Island native swims in Stony Brook Harbor and made good on his promise this past weekend, during the first blizzard of 2022. Our Jamie Stuart and photojournalist Andrew Theodorakis went along for the chilly, yet inspirational dip.
