24 IN 24
On Wednesday 22 June 2016 at 6.43pm, Jackie Hall finished her final mile of 100 Percent Swimming’s 24 miles in 24 hours swim. She had swum a mile, on the hour, every hour, since 6pm the day before, in a lake. She was the final solo swimmer to complete the challenge. Exhausted but elated, she clambered up the jetty to rapturous applause. There wasn’t a dry eye around the lake.
