F Crippen Foundation

To all those who have continued to keep Fran in their hearts and helped amplify the voice for improved safety in Open Water swimming, thank you! 10 years after a tragedy that should have never happened, we are learning but still have a long way to go.

Today marks the 10th year since the death of Fran Crippen @FC_Elevation - We commemorate the man and his mission with a series of four articles. Here, for the record, is what happened and the questions the tragedy raised... stateofswimming.com/the-questions-…

Today, the @FC_Elevation marks this 10th passing of 10-23-10 since Fran Crippen died in a FINA World Cup race with a statement on its vision for the coming 10 years of work in honour of two passions of a man much missed: water safety and athlete support. stateofswimming.com/fran-crippen-e…
