Penny Palfrey Prepares By Setting Another World Record

This morning, she swam 5 miles from Cayman Brac to Little Cayman Island as the first leg of her Bridging The Cayman Island. Swimming at a brisk 82 strokes per minutes, she was sandwiched between her kayakers, Jeff Kozlovich of Honolulu and Richard Clifford of New York, and 2 Department of Environment escort boats.
Up and down the 1-2 foot surface chop, Penny used her open water swimming experience to body surf down the face of the larger surface chop. Despite swimming conservatively, she broke the existing record of 1:53:34…by a mere 6 seconds.

“I just had a great swim with lots of support. I want to thank Mr. Flowers. It was a little bumpy and I finished by crossing over a turtle over the beautiful coral reef near the finish.”
