- has conquered the English Channel 43 times, more than anyone in the world
- 3 double and 1 triple crossing of the Channel
- worked as a currency trader all her working life in London until 2009
“Currency trader Alison Streeter got a call on her mobile phone from her office. “What should we do about South African rand?” they asked. Nothing unusual about that, even though she was crossing the Channel at the time. What was unusual, though, was that she was swimming it.”
