Anybody who’s heard about the feat of Channel swimmer Sophie Etheridge cannot fail to be amazed at her resilience.
Sophie, an adaptive swimmer using only her arms, completed the challenge in 29 hours and 4 minutes, which is believed to be a world record for the longest crossing.
Thank YOU for everything you’ve done this year to help SwimTayka grow. Together we are building the next generation of confident swimmers and clean water stewards. Thanks to you (and especially to Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation) last year we hit some benchmarks.
Since our last update, we reached a few more milestones. Here are some highlights.
First and foremost, an enormous shout-out and most sincere appreciation to our launch captains Avi Ben-Zaken, John Kulewicz, Susan Hammer and Joel Soffin. Thank you for your wonderfully generous support to get us up and running! Thanks to you, we have made great strides in recent months.
