Worlds longest swimming record

Answer 1

On Saturday morning Penny Palfrey went for a dip. A little over 40 hours later she emerged after setting the world record for the longest solo unassisted swim.

Her 68-mile trek across the Cayman Islands in nothing but a standard swimsuit and goggles bypassed packs of sharks, powerful currents, and unpredictable weather.

When she finished her swim last night at 11:11 P.M., her face and tongue were so swollen from the salt water she was unable to speak but she did manage to raise her arms in victory

Answer 2

Answer 3

Megan McDole of Greensburg Indiana. She is about 3 foot 5 and is considered a South Pole elf. Megan is a freestyler and a breasttroker. She is naturally at a disadvantage due to her height so the fact that she is a better than average swimmer is quite impressive.
