Uli still leads swimming every Sunday, even throughout his chemotherapy treatments. He makes his weekly swim down to Waikīkī and back to the shore of the Outrigger. Next year, we look forward to welcoming him back for the invitational, where he is sure to give his 75-80 year-old competitors the race of their lives.
