The cheers from the crowd grew as the first few swimmers closed in on the final stretch to shore.

Upon touching ground, each emerged from the water slick and out of breath, yet still managed to charge up the sand with energy. It was the annual Trans Tahoe Relay, a six-hour relay swim across the width of Lake Tahoe that drew more than 70 swimmers.
One participant . . . did not . . . have relay team members to break up the 10.2-mile distance. He swam alone.
On Saturday, Martinez native Keris Dahlkamp joined a small group of people who have crossed the lake in one stretch. . . He was . . . swimming to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation.
