It was all difficult: 24 straight hours swimming as relay members in Aquatic Park in San Francisco, California. Non-stop swimming, napping and eating.
But Madhuri Yechuri of India made it especially difficult for herself as she swam all her legs butterfly.
“The food was great; the water temperature was great about 53ºF, and the weather was great,” said Dods. “It got a little cool about 5 am, but nothing terrible. It was a little windy about 5 to 10 pm, but flattened out.”
