David A. Adler
Trudy Ederle loved to swim. And she was determined to be the best. At seventeen Trudy won three medals at the 1924 Olympics, in Paris.

Trudy's historic fourteen-hour swim across the English Channel set a world record. She defied those who said it couldn't be done. And with her courage and endurance, Trudy Ederle became a symbol for women everywhere. â By the award-winning team that created Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man â Includes a historical author's note â Features one of the most celebrated female athletes of the century
