Triple Crown, Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming

2014 World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year

Charlotte Samuels' effort for her Triple Crown is nominated for the 2014 World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year.

"English Channel, Catalina Channel, Manhattan Island cast large shadows in the marathon swimming world. These are the proving grounds sought by many. Charlotte Samuels, a 16-year-old high school student, achieved this monument of marathoning with two impressive 20+ hour channel crossings that captured the attention of the American media. She addressed inquiries with mature aplomb and unusual maturity as the youngest person to achieve the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming with her circumnavigation of Manhattan Island, her crossing of the English Channel, and her crossing of the Catalina Channel. For her ability to eloquently explain the trials and challenges of marathon swimming to people of all ages from school children to the New York media, for completing her chosen goal of completing the Triple Crown at a young age, for extraordinarily 20+ hour channel crossings without hesitation and unusual courage, Charlotte Samuels’ Triple Crown is a worthy nominee for the 2014 World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year."
