Default Re: Book Suggestions: Swimming To Anartica

1 - Not sure why you would think doing something newsworthy like that makes you rich.

2 - I saw a story on her on 60 minutes a couple months ago. They were with her when she did the mile swim in the Antartica waters and talked about how scientists are studying how it could even be humanly possible for her to do this when it would kill just about everyone else pretty quickly.
I think they mentioned they knew of just one other person in the world who would be capable of surviving in some of those cold waters for as long.

She does seem like a generally likeable person on TV.
