Karen Wapato is beaming as she emerges from the Bay and peels off her goggles.  Wapato is a public health nurse on the Colville Indian reservation in Washington state. Over the past few years, she’s been battling diabetes and alcoholism in the lives of her patients and in her own.   Then she heard about Pathstar. It’s an intensive week of health and  wellness education, topped off with a unique challenge -- a one-mile swim across the bay from Alcatraz."

Lane 6 - Crowdfund Insider posts "Best Invention List Includes Three Kickstarter Crowdfunded Projects.  Under “Extremely Fun”.  The + Pool.  An Olympic-size pool designed to float in the less-than-crystal-clear East River, the Plus Pool kills two birds with one stone: it cleans the river water and gives New Yorkers a place to swim. Its unique filtration system scrubs the water as it floats through it, while its distinctive plus-sign shape isolates different wings for different activities. Designed by Dong-Ping Wong, Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeffrey Franklin, the pool could make it possible for New Yorkers to dive into clean river water for the first time in 100 years. So far the $15 million project has been funded by Kickstarter, but the team is still raising money to get the pool up and floating by the summer of 2016."
