Obama takes plunge, swims in Gulf
- NEW: President Obama and daughter Sasha took a swim in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday
- White House released a photo of the swim on its Flickr page
- Obama had said he would swim on Sunday with press corps present
- Event is meant as a gesture showing that the Gulf Coast is open for business
(CNN) -- The one really big question hanging over President Obama's weekend vacation to Panama City, Florida, now has an answer.
Will he or won't he dive into the water to send a message that the Gulf Coast is back?
The answer: He will, and sooner than expected.
"I think we're going to go tomorrow and as I just said Ed, I'm not going to let you guys take a picture of me with my shirt off," Obama jokingly told CNN Saturday. "You guys will tease me just like last time. I was on the front page ... People commenting."
But just hours later, a photo was published on the White House Flickr page showing a smiling President Obama and his daughter Sasha taking a dip in the Gulf waters off Alligator Point in Panama City Beach, Florida.
