An American cancer survivor has become the first person to swim the English Channel four times non-stop.
LONDON — An American cancer survivor has become the first person to swim the English Channel, which separates England and France, four times non-stop.
The exhausted swimmer lay down on the pebbled beach after coming out of the water, and was then handed some M&Ms and a glass of bubbly. “But, hopefully between the preparation I've done and the experience of my crew and boat captain, we can get this done together.” "I've been waiting for this swim for over two years now and have fought so hard to get here. Am I 100%? No. But I'm the best that I can be right now, with what I've been through, with more fire and fight than ever," she wrote in her Facebook post dedicating this swim to"all the survivors out there."A boat equipped with GPS systems and several computers accompanied Thomas throughout her journey, monitoring wind, tides and currents.
