Jacqueline (call her Jackie) has been swimming with CIBBOWS since 2014, and has served on the board of directors since 2016. A late bloomer to marathon swimming, she has completed swims ranging from 1 mile to nearly 16 miles. She is lucky enough to spend weekends out at the beach where her childhood bedroom is fondly known as “the cabana”.
