Independent Producer Nanci Olesen has been swimming in Lake Harriet near her home in Minneapolis everyday since May. It's been a daily break from the responsibilities of her life. But as winter creeps up—the lake is 38 degrees right now—she'll have to put away her swimsuit, wet suit actually, and stop swimming until next May. Nanci tells us what her daily swim has meant all year, and what it means to stop doing it.
