Carol swam the English Channel at 58 years old and has become a mentor for ocean/distance swimmers in San Diego.
Michella graduated from UCSD as a mechanical engineer. She swam the English Channel in June 2021 in 14 hours-27 minutes.
The Channel has cold water, strong currents and tide shifts to her mantra was ‘plan your swim and swim your plan’.
