Despite hundreds of other swimmers being pulled out due to strong currents in one of the slowest, toughest and most challenging editions in its 47-year history, one family trio of father, mother and their 7-year-old son completed the 2.4-mile (3.86 km) Waikiki Roughwater Swim together today in Honolulu, Hawaii.
