Nightswimmer is one of the biggest turtles in the Race, and is one of rock band R.E.M.’s biggest fans. She is quite the traveler, having followed R.E.M. to far-flung places on their tours. But, just like the band, Nightswimmer always has Georgia on her mind!

Five-time Olympic gold medalist Janet Evans is Nightswimmer’s coach, so Nightswimmer should be able to swim faster for longer than anyone else.
