| QUOTATION: | ... marathon swimming is the most difficult physical, intellectual and emotional battleground I have encountered, and each time I win, each time I touch the other shore, I feel worthy of any other challenge life has to offer. |

The champion marathon swimmer had swum extremely difficult and even dangerous courses, some taking dozens of hours to complete. |
