In the swim, Cindy Nicholas preps for her attempt to beat the English Channel on July 27

Original Toronto Star caption: In the swim, Cindy Nicholas preps for her attempt to beat the English Channel on July 27. The 17-year-old Scarborough girl last year conquered Lake Ontario in record time. This year, she is aiming at Channel. She decided upon English Channel since she wants to be ranked among top swim marathoners and the Channel rates a marathoner since it is very organized.
