With Santa Catalina Island far off in the horizon, Hank Wise and Abigail Bergman had a lot of confidence when they stood on the shore getting ready for the 48th Annual Seal Beach Rough Water Swim on June 24th.

Their confidence was justified as the experienced ocean swimmers won the 3-mile event in Seal Beach.
