A U.S. Navy spouse and Air Force veteran August 13 became the 1,767 person ever to complete a swim of the English Channel when she finished her swim in 14 hours, 41 minutes.
Amy Hayes, who lives at RAF Molesworth with her husband and four kids, has been training for the swim for two years. An initial attempt in July was shelved when weather conditions made it impossible.
Hayes, who has been a swimmer off and on since competing on a swim team in high school, decided to tackle the English Channel after taking a trip to Dover, England, with her husband shortly after PCSing to the region.
