A young woman has accomplished an amazing feat in the waters around New York City.
Angel More competed in a 28-mile swim around Manhattan Island Saturday; doing it all for charity.
As ordinary people spent Saturday morning lazing around Battery Park, across the pier in the Hudson River, the 16-year-old embarked on a grueling journey.
“I’ve been swimming my entire life and I just wanted to challenge myself so I decided to do this,†More said.

The head of American anti-doping agency USADA says the rules have failed to keep pace with science and that not every athlete who tests positive as the result of a contaminated supplement deserves to spend four years out of their sport.
Travis Tygart, who was a key figure in the investigations into BALCO and cyclist Lance Armstrong, believes blanket bans for otherwise clean athletes who find themselves returning inadvertent low-level positives should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, not a “gotcha” style of policing that hands out hardline sanctions more suitable for systematic doping.
Many of the recent inadvertent positives in the US have involved the class of substance known as SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators), which are increasingly finding their way into even reputable dietary and vitamin supplements. One of those is the anti-steroidal anabolic agent LGD-4033, which is what was found in the samples returned by Australian swimmer Shayna Jack.
The 20-year-old faces a four-year ban should ASADA impose the maximum penalty. International anti-doping bodies have shown little mercy in many cases, but an influx of positives has prompted USADA to lead the discussion about sanctions that closer fit the crime.

Here is another detailed video of my step-by-step guide to mastering the tumble turn, or as some people call it, a flip turn.
I’ve been teaching these for years and have noticed that some clients find it pretty overwhelming at the start, which is why I have broken this video up into stages.
Don’t move to the next stage until you have comfortably mastered the previous stage. Also, don’t be concerned if you get some water up your nose one the first few tries…that’s normal. Just make sure you are blocking your nose or blowing air out your nose as your turn.
So try out these tips and I’m sure it will really help you improve or learn the tumble turn.
