Anna-Carin Nordin Swims The World
Anna-Carin Nordin is a 41-year-old marathon swimmer from Sweden who swam 43.4K from Eckerö, Finland to Grisslehamn, Sweden in 14 hours 31 minutes under very rough seas. And now the former English Channel swimmer (12 hours flat) is in the warm waters waters of Hawaii, trying to tackle the tropically tough Molokai Channel.
Talk about diversity and variety. Acknowledged worldwide as a wonderful woman with lots of energy (doing up to 100,000 meters per week), she is being piloted by Matt Buckman in Molokai who just escorted Darren Miller across the channel a few days ago.
