— is, ‘If you can make it half-way,
you can make it all the
way.’ You can bet I was tell-ing
myself that once I made
it into the French shipping
lanes!”
French authorities allow
English Channel swimmers
to touch their country’s soil,
but they don’t allow them to
linger. As soon as she com-pleted
the swim, Goodwin
had to climb into the pilot
boat and return to England.
So the immediate future
includes a longer stay on the
continent with her family,
who have been based in
England since March.
“Now that both kids are
out of school, the next
thing on the list is to travel
to France and throughout
Europe. I’m very excited.
As much as I really love
open-water swimming, I’m
really ready to see some-thing
other than greenish
seawater at this point!”
And after that?
“I have already told my
husband that ‘The Year of
Eric’ has now begun,” she
said. “But I’m definitely
thinking about an Ironman
Triathlon at some point in
the future. And there are a
lot of beautiful, warm places
to swim — that sounds pretty
attractive right now as well.
But first, rest, regroup, and
show other people the kind
of support that they have
shown me!”
