Phil White reported that Craig Lenning completed his mission in 15 hours 5 minutes to swim the length of Lake Memphremagog between Vermont (USA) and Quebec (Canada) as part of the Triple Crown of Lake Monster Swims.
"We added a fifth consecutive blue light at The Clubhous to commemorate his swim," explains White. "The first blue light stands for his Triple Crown achievement of his English Channel crossing, Catalina Channel crossing and swim around Manhattan Island. The second blue light commemorates his participation in the Bering Strait International Relay. The third blue light is for his Farallon Islands Swim and the fourth blue light is for his swim at the International Ice Swimming Championships at Murmansk, Russia.
