Richard Burke Jr., an entrepreneur from Westlake Village, adapted to the closure of gyms and pools by finding an outdoor pool that opened to the community last summer at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. It s just part of the transitions in life. I think the whole thing of COVID is it pushed people out of their comfort zones, he said.
He s been swimming at the outdoor pool three days a week for months. On Tuesday, he celebrated his 61st birthday by swimming 7.1 miles or 502 laps.
Last year, the pandemic changed how he and others celebrated birthdays. Burke decided to swim for a charity, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County.
