Daniel Slosberg was introduced to ocean swimming in 1976 by Lynne Cox at UC Santa Barbara. The following year, he completed a single-crossing of the Catalina Channel. In 1978, he clocked the fastest Catalina double-crossing ever, a record which stood, thanks to his teammate John York, for eleven days.<\/p>\n
