Joey, screw what they say on the backstroke, stick to the reach-around

I would train like this : wake up - swim a mile. do my day.

The backstroke idea is horrid imo. It is a technique-dependant swimming style and completely useless in an ocean with waves. He would have no sense of direction, water would go over his face all the time, it would tire him in a short amount of a time, it would be much less efficient than crawl (freestyle) and not to mention the waves that he would not see coming. He should stick to free-style. He can have his head over the water with no effort from time to time and see any wave coming his way.

From an 'activity' point of view it's an easy bet for him as he has 50 days to prepare. It's up to whether or not he panics in the water. There is the obvious fear of sharks if there are any occurance with sharks in the area the pbet takes place. The way he said "i wont get in no boat" because he can't swim makes me wonder if he has some sort of phobia or if its just natural fear because he can't swim.

why would he backstroke this? im confused?If hes in as good as shape as everyone says he should be able to win this prop. I think his biggest worry will have to be if he panics. Even people who know how to swim panic in open water and lock up.

I don't know what kind of shape he's in but I think I would personally bet against Joey. Swimming 1 mile is like running 3 miles, against the current is like 5 miles. If he's never swam in his life so much could go wrong. He'd need a good trainer and good work ethic for the entire month and a half and even then, it'd still be hard imo.


edit: it's actually end of sept so closer to two months. More do-able but still hard.

It hasn't been said if he can try multiple times.
Swimming 1 mile is like running 3 miles...

WHAT THE FUCK ?!

Why would anyone lock up if you can have a friend be there for you to help. Its not like Bear Grylls drops you into the ocean from a helicopter. The bet is interesting if it matters for either or both. For Bill it is couch money.
That being said i wish you the best.
