This made me smile!!! I love that there's a commemoration plaque!!! That's a girl who goes after her goals!!!
Good for Jane! I love to swim, but definitely not long-distance.
wow, what an accomplishment!
that is some accomplishment. a whole day of swimming is no joke. thanks for sharing.
I am assuming you have moved to Jersey are you enjoying it?
Impressive!
Does this mean no-one has bested her?
Still, it is quite an accomplishment (saying one who does not swim!)
Was she a local girl? She must be so proud.
