Ron Davis is an American open water swimmer from Florida who set the 70-74 age group record in Lake Cane in Orlando, Florida with a time of 39:50.

Davis set his record when he completed a crossing in the lake, swimming for the first time without a pull buoy to aid him.

No equipment, no pull buoy…but together with a bunch of his friends from Lucky’s Lake, today was a tipping point in the open water for Davis.
