Why do you think Florence Chadwick failed in her first attempt but succeeded in her second
Answers
Explanation:
During her swim Chadwick traveled with a team whose job it was to keep an eye out for sharks and be prepared to assist in the event of unexpected cramps, injury, or fatigue.
She swam for another hour before deciding to call it quits. As she sat in the teetering boat she discovered if she’d just continued on for another mile she would have reached Catalina Island.
Two months after Chadwick’s failed attempt she tried the swim once more. Once again, a thick fog set in.
But this time she had a mental image of the shoreline in her mind as she pushed herself along. And not only did she succeed but Chadwick ended up making the swim an additional two times.
For good measure, Chadwick also became the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions.
