UK Swimming
An American cancer survivor has become the first person to swim across the English Channel four times in a row. Sarah Thomas, 37, completed the feat of endurance at 6:30 on Tuesday 17th September 2019 after more than 54 hours of swimming in strong tides and a year after undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
The 37-year-old, who completed treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer last year, covered almost 134 miles.
She won the 100-metre freestyle, only to be immediately disqualified.
