Kristen is developing quite a swimming CV. She already had an English Channel solo to her name as well as English Channel relays and other adventures. This year, Kristen took on a circumnavigation swim of New York ‘20 Bridges’.

This is what Kristen had to say on social media:

I’m grateful for many things, not least the opportunities I have to try big adventures. This time it took me swimming 28.5 miles around the island of Manhattan. Currents weren’t always in my favor but very often enough to make it only a 9hr 21min swim time. What a great view and enjoyable day out .

Thank you all who have been my support system and for the generous donations to my chosen charity.

Now what’s next?

What next? I think there may be some obvious answers to that question! However, whatever you decide, I’m sure it’ll be epic!

I love it when we have a window on a swim through the wonders of social media. The photos from this swim are awesome. Here are a few.
