ALTHOUGH the 2020 Summer Olympics have come and gone, there are still swimmers out there setting records.
A 14-year-old has become the youngest person to swim the length of Lake Tahoe, completing the coveted ‘triple crown’.
The boy finished the swim in 12 hours, having earlier also swum the width of the lake, and the ‘Vikingsholm’ route, to round out the acomplishment.
The trip across the body of water started in South Lake Tahoe in California, and ended in another state entirely, in the Nevada town of Incline Village.
The boy’s mother said her son has been swimming almost every day since he was eight, inspiring the potential for him to line up alongside countryman and recent gold medalist Robert Finke, as well as Australian Jack McLoughlin, in the 800-metre freestyle at the 2024 Olympics.
