Original Toronto Star caption: His feet hurt: The first person to swim Lake Ontario underwater; David Curry; 20; of Oshawa staggers ashore at Ontario Place yesterday after a 20-hour scuba trip. I'm cold; I'm tied; I'm hungry and I'm happy; Curry said before getting treatment for his feet; badly blistered by flipper friction. He said the roughest part of the trip came about half way across when he became disoriented and thought he was almost there. It was strange; he recalled. I was in a bit of a daze.
