Swimming Gala

- At age fourteen, she swam twenty-six miles from Catalina Island to the California mainland. - At ages fifteen and sixteen, she broke the men's and women's world records for swimming the English Channel--a thirty-three-mile crossing in nine hours, thirty-six minutes. - At eighteen, she swam the twenty-mile Cook Strait between North and South Islands of New Zealand, was caught on a massive swell, found herself after five hours farther from the finish than when she started, and still completed the swim. - She was the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, the most treacherous three-mile stretch of water in the world. - The first to swim the Bering Strait--the channel that forms the boundary line between the United States and Russia--from Alaska to Siberia, thereby opening the U.S.-Soviet border for the first time in forty-eight years, swimming in thirty-eight-degree water in four-foot waves without a shark cage, wet suit, or lanolin grease. - The first to swim the Cape of Good Hope (a shark emerged from the kelp, its jaws wide open, and was shot as it headed straight for her). In this extraordinary book, the world's most extraordinary distance swimmer writes about her emotional and spiritual need to swim and about the almost mystical act of swimming itself. Lynne Cox trained hard from age nine, working with an Olympic coach, swimming five to twelve miles each day in the Pacific. At age eleven, she swam even when hail made the water "like cold tapioca pudding" and was told she would one day swim the English Channel. Four years later--not yet out of high school--she broke the men's and women's world records for the Channel swim. In 1987, she swam the Bering Straitfrom America to the Soviet Union--a feat that, according to Gorbachev, helped diminish tensions between Russia and the United States.
