  • SwimOutlet.com, the web’s biggest swim shop and a top 300 Internet Retailer in the U.S., has hired retail industry veteran Bill Pond as its new President of SwimOutlet.com. Pond was most recently Senior VP, E-Commerce, International & Direct to Business at L.L.Bean where he spent 16 years.

    “The time is right to bring in an executive to laser focus on our swim business,” said Avi Benaroya, Founder & CEO of Spiraledge, Inc., SwimOutlet.com’s parent company. “With vast e-commerce and sales experience along with his own background and personal passion for swimming, Bill is the perfect leader to take SwimOutlet.com to the next level in its continued growth.”

    “There are over 26 million swimmers in the U.S. as well as millions of triathletes, beach-goers, surfers, water polo players and other lovers of aquatic activities,” said Pond. “As e-commerce continues to flourish and with multiple swimming product categories primed for growth, the possibilities for SwimOutlet.com are endless.”

    SwimOutlet.com is the Official Online Retailer of USA Swimming and also maintains partnerships with U.S. Masters Swimming, Swim Across America, USA Synchro and the College Swim Coaches Association of America, among others. Pond begins his role in late January and will relocate from Maine to the San Jose, California area.

  • When the small Japanese seaside town of Susami needed a tourism boost, an unlikely resident came to the rescue: the town’s postmaster. Together with the local diving community, former postmaster Toshihiko Matsumoto helped establish the world’s first underwater mailbox. Those willing to make the plunge can strap on a wetsuit and mail letters from 30 feet under the sea. Incredibly, dive shop owner Hiroaki Yamatani descends each day to collect and deliver these letters to the post office. To date, almost 38,000 letters have been sent from under the sea.

  • A letter emerged Tuesday that was purportedly written by a former inmate at Alcatraz who — along with two others — managed to escape the island prison only to vanish without a trace.

    The running theory about the inmates’ fate is that they died shortly after stepping foot into the cold waters that separated the prison and San Francisco. But their bodies were never found and their story remains a mystery.

    Prison officials and federal agents insisted at the time of the escape that the inmates — brothers John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris — perished.

    CBS San Francisco reported that it obtained a letter allegedly written by John Anglin. The letter contains an admission of escape and an explanation of the inmates’ fate.

    “My name is John Anglin,” the letter reads. “I escape (sic) from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I’m 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes we all made it that night but barely.”

    The letter continued, “If you announce on TV that I will be promised to first go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention, I will write back to let you know exactly where I am. This is no joke.”
