Suzanne conquered the Strait

| Students

秀色短视频 congratulates fifth-year student Suzanne Nicholson who conquered the Northumberland Strait on Sunday, August 18. The 秀色短视频 swim team member created the fundraiser in hopes of raising $10,000 for the team-and she exceeded that goal!

After raising close to $11,000, Suzanne set out at 7:45 am for the 13+ km swim which took her about 5.5 hours to complete.

'Well, I must say, I'm glad it's over with,' said Nicholson. 'Before my swim, I was really excited and just ready to get in and swim. Throughout, the swim was a different story, though. The water was a lot rougher than I expected and the current was a lot stronger. It was frustrating at times, but once I hit the beach, I was so happy it was over with.'

Nicholson joins a rather exclusive list of elite swimmers who have dared to take on the Strait.

Congratulations, Suzanne... 秀色短视频 is so proud!!
