Brave Efforts
Meenakshi Pahuja from Delhi made her second attempt to swim the great English Channel on 8th August 2014 from England to France. She swam 25 miles in 14 hours 19 mins, she was 2 miles away from the French Coast, due to the change of tide, she was forcibly picked up by the crew on safety grounds under the instructions of English Channel observers. The observer was very impressed by her effort, and encouraged her by releasing her video recording.
