A Guelph woman has swum across Lake Erie.
Brenda Lussier left Sturgeon Point New York early Saturday morning to begin the 19 kilometre journey to Fort Erie.
It’s called the Silent Swim, because Lussier is deaf. She did the swim to raise money and awareness for cystic fibrosis.
She arrived in Fort Erie around 3:00 p.m. after battling wind, waves and fog.
Lussier told CTV News that she was tired, sore and hungry after her swim, but also very happy.
She plans to swim across Lake Ontario in three weeks.
