COT: Florence Chadwick. Florence Chadwick was an American swimmer who was the first woman ever to cross the English Channel both ways. In 1952 at the age of 34, Florence set a goal of being the first woman to swim 26 miles between Catalina Island and the California coastline. 15 hours into the swim, a thick, heavy fog set in, she was disoriented, there were sharks in the water, and she wanted to quit. Her coach and mother in the boat tried encouraging but she gave in to the voice in her head, causing her to stop swimming. When she got in the boat she found she was less than 1 mile from the finish. The reason Florence stopped was because she could no longer see the coastline because of the fog. She had lost sight of her goal. One month later, Florence tried again, keeping a mental image of the shoreline in her mind and became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, beating the men’s record by two hours.
Multiple lessons here:
- People around you (in the boat) sometimes know more than you do….listen to people you trust!
- Never lose sight of your goal, always have a vision!
- If you fail, GOOD, that’s an opportunity to learn and come back better the next time!
- Never give up, you’re closer than you think!
