And I Get Winded Going From One Side Of A Pool To The Other
-
Congratulations to Charlotte Samuels, 16, who just swam up to my neighborhood. Literally. Like, right down the road and at the bottom of the cliff, with TV news choppers overhead. And that means that she swam 20.2 miles across the Catalina Channel of the Pacific Ocean (there be whales and sharks and jellyfish!) from Catalina Island to right here in Rancho Palos Verdes, USA. She already swam around Manhattan, so all she has to do is swim the English Channel and she'll be the youngest person ever to do the hat trick of three major open-water swims. Oh, come on, you can't be asking... well, the answer is, because it's there. That's all you need. (Bergen Record)
