Showed true grit by pushing through adverse conditions to complete the swim in just under 20 hours, which is incredibly impressive to me.

The incredible fortitude.
Only a little dismayed ( jk) that it puts my 18.36 to shame.
i hope she keeps swimming. Wonderful role model for all.

Also, yesterday (5th August), Hazel Killingbeck from England completed a successful solo swim across the English Channel in 15 hours and 23 minutes. Hazel has recently turned 16 years old. Amazing achievement for one so young.
I am in total awe of Charlotte's fortitude at such a young age. And Hazel as well. Look out world... what ever these two young ladies put their mind to... they will succeed.
