Gertrude Ederle
Gertrude Ederle gained much notoriety back in 1926 as she became the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926. It took her 14 hours and 34 minutes to reach Kingsdown, Kent. Up until Florence Chadwick’s 13-hour and 10-minute swim across the English Channel in 1950, her mark stood. In the same way as Burgess did in 1911, Ederle donned motorcycle goggles to shield her eyes from salt water. Although she used crawl instead of breaststroke, Burgess utilized breaststroke, so she had her goggles paraffin-sealed to make them waterproof.
