Click here to listen on an exclusive "One-on-One" interview with Briggs by Tom Pace. Briggs, an adjunct NSU professor, & world-class, long-distance champion swimmer will make the two-mile swim in Cross Lake starting at 10am Thursday morning, July 10th. He will utilizie the span of the Cross Lake Bridge (that's approximately 2 miles long) as a guide. Dr. Briggs will be taken out to the starting point at the bridge by boat and will swim 2 miles ending at Melvin's Landing (by land--Cross Lake Blvd.), and then by boat back to the Lowe-McFarland merican Legion Post. For the past seven summers, he has made at least one swim of 2+ miles to bring attention to the endowment he started at NSU to honor his late wife’s memory. Lydia Briggs was an avid tennis player.
