2019 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year Nomination
Fry was nominated for the 2019 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year award with the following nomination:
Elizabeth Fry continues to do what she loves doing...as she seems to be getting better and better at it. Channel swimming is her thing; marathon swimming is her specialty. She swims and achieves records in a humble, mild-mannered way, smiling and expressing heartfelt appreciate every step of the way to her successes. In addition to serving as the long-time race director of the 25 km St. Vincent's Foundation Swim Across the Sound, she completed a 23 km crossing of the Cook Strait from the North Island to the South Island in New Zealand in 9 hours 32 minutes and a 35 km crossing of the North Channel from Northern Ireland to Scotland in 11 hours 13 minutes at the age of 60 years 301 days to achieve the Oceans Seven and become the oldest person - male or female - to do so. She is role model and an icon to many, always sharing kind words and her boundless energy with anyone who ventures past the shoreline. She faces high stress in the financial services industry by day and swims by choice for relaxation, her preferred aquatic meditation where she continues to impress even the world's most elite marathon swimmers. For becoming the oldest individual to complete the Oceans Seven, for continuing to challenge herself and serve as an iconic role model for marathon swimmers of all ages, and for continuing to support and provide leadership in one of the world's most successful charity swims, Elizabeth Fry is a worthy nominee for the 2019 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.
Vermont Open Water Swimming Hall of Fame Induction
Elizabeth Fry, 56 of Westport, Connecticut, is a marathon swimmer and contributor. Fry is a living legend in the international community of open water swimmers. She completed the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming and has also completed the Reverse Triple. She has double crossed the English Channel (swimming the English Channel a total of 6 times) and double-crossed the Ederle Swim. She has swum across the Molokai Channel in Hawaii and the Tsugaru Channel in Japan and the Round Jersey circumnavigation swim. She double crossed each of the four lakes in the Arizona SCAR Swim Challenge, an unprecedented feat that has yet to be repeated. She made history in Vermont waters, when she joined the inaugural In Search of Memphre in 2011. Battling fierce headwinds through the night, she became the first of four to complete that 25-mile international cross-border swim. In doing so, she broke through the belief that the border was closed to international swimming and re-opened this iconic route for the many more who have followed since. That first year of Memphre, five of the nine solo swimmers did not make it. Liz signed on to return the next year and mentor those who failed to complete the first year. Bill Shipp, David Dammerman, and Jennifer Dutton successfully completed despite another year of strong winds. Liz has always been eager to help marathon swimmers as they take on greater challenges. In doing so, Liz has served as a mentor to Kingdom Swimmers looking to swim ultra distances beyond the fresh waters of Northeast Kingdom lakes, helping them to realize their dreams of channel crossings and circumnavigations in bigger bodies of water.

2015 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year nomination
Fry was nominated for the 2015 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year Award as follows:
Elizabeth Fry (U.S.A.) Double Down
Elizabeth Fry is a race director of the 25 km St. Vincent's Foundation Swim Across the Sound who blew the minds of many of the world's elite marathon swimmers. The veteran 56-year-old channel swimmer set another almost unfathomable bar in the open water community to improbable heights. Fry took one of the world's longest open water swimming competitions, the S.C.A.R. Swim Challenge, a 4-day stage swim in Arizona, and obliterated all sense of time and distance. Instead of doing the already-tough 41.6 miles (66.9 km) in the race, Fry simply double downed 84.4 miles (124.8 km): on Day 1, she swam back and forth 19 miles (40.4 km) in Saguaro Lake in 6 hours 42 minutes, on Day 2, she swam 18 miles (28.8 km) two ways in Canyon Lake in 6 hours 26 minutes, on Day 4, she double-crossed 44 miles (54.6 km) Apache Lake in 15 hours 46 minutes, and on Day 4, she double-crossed 12.4 miles (20 km) Roosevelt Lake 6 hours 18 minutes. For her two-timing 46 hour 55 minute S.C.A.R., for challenging herself for 4 consecutive days of double-crossings, and for continuing to support and provide leadership in one of the world's most successful charity swims in Connecticut, Elizabeth Fry is a worthy nominee for the 2015 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.
2016 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year nomination
Fry was nominated for the 2016 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year as follows:
Elizabeth Fry just keeps going and going. As she works in the mentally exhausting, high stress financial services industry in New York City, her relaxation and calm comes from facing some of the harshest environments on Earth. Not only did she work killer hours in the office, but she also took the time to travel the world and cross Japan's Tsugaru Channel in 15 hours 48 minutes, Hawaii's Molokai Channel in 16 hours 40 minutes, and California's Catalina Channel in 12 hours 46 minutes. In between, the 56-year-old organized the charity swim for the St. Vincent's Foundation in a 25 km Swim Across the Sound and mentored others who wish to emulate the remarkable stamina of one of the world's most prolific marathon swimmers. For her boundless energy that is enhanced by a bright smile and selfless mentoring, for her achievement of the unprecedented Reverse Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming, for being a genuinely humble role model with a remarkable lifestyle balance, Elizabeth Fry is a worthy nominee for the 2016 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.
