Swimming Upstream
Tom Kleven thought he'd prepare for a triathlon by swimming across Minnesota's Lake Nokomis. But a lifeguard ordered him back when he was about halfway across. And when he got back to shore, Minneapolis Park Police cited him for swimming too far. He faces a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail if convicted, and since Kleven is a doctor, he'll have to report the incident each time he applies to have his medical license renewed.
