If anyone kept track of the number of days on the water as a percentage of one’s life, Jordan would be the Cal Ripken, Michael Phelps, Mia Hamm, and UConn Basketball of the category. Her mom and dad both guide for us, so Jordan got a head start when she went down the American three months before she was born and she got an early introduction when she spent the first six months of her life living in a tent within earshot of the South Fork of the American. She still lives along the South Fork and can practically swim home after a day on the river. That affinity for water makes her other aquatic accomplishments seem dry; she has been swimming competitively since she was four, she swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco when she was nine, she has played Varsity Water Polo and been captain of the swim team for all four years of High School, and, naturally, she’s been guiding on the river since she was 15.
