	Lynne Cox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lynne Cox (born 1957) is a long-distance open-water swimmer and writer.
		In 1976, she was the first person to swim the Straits of Magellan in Chile, the first to swim across the Skagerrak, and the first to swim around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, where she had to contend with sharks, jellyfish, and sea snakes.
		Cox is perhaps best known for swimming the Bering Strait from the island of Little Diomede in Alaska to Big Diomede, then part of the Soviet Union, where the water temperature averaged around 4°C (40°F).

	NPR : Rabid Reader: Lynne Cox, 'Swimming to Antarctica'
		That's what long-distance swimmer Lynne Cox did when she was just 15 years old, breaking both the men's and women's records at the time.
		Cox documents the years of training and other swimming feats that led to her eventual triumph in the Bering Strait in her book Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer.
		Cox recently took a walk along Seal Beach, in Orange County, Calif., to explain to NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates how she trained for many of her swims within eyeshot of the pier and the surfers that hug the coast.

		Cox, 45, has traveled nearly 8,000 miles to test the limits of her endurance there.
		Keatinge thinks Cox has somehow trained her body to keep most of her blood at her body’s core and away from the skin where it’s exposed to the cold.
		Cox herself thinks this is the key to her success: “If you look at the marine mammals in Antarctica, the whales, the walruses, the seals all have body fat to stay warm.

		Cox's proportion of fat to muscle is perfectly balanced to achieve neutral buoyancy, enabling her to swim with maximum efficiency and make her "at one with the water."
		Cox has financed her swims largely on her own through work as a freelance writer and motivational lecturer, although she has picked up a few sponsors in recent years.

		Cox had numerous adventures and, while I enjoyed reading about her attempt to swim the Bering trait to (then) the Soviet Union (there is much more about this swim than Antarctica), she kept clobbering me with a strange naivety.

		Lynne Cox largely avoids emotions, trivia, sentimentality and similar extraneous materials to deliver a very tightly focused account of her remarkable accomplishments in cold-water ocean swimming.

		As Cox turned toward one bay, "the dolphins began chattering excitedly, moving erratically." Cox realized that the dolphins led her to another bay because "there was a current to the left, one I didn't have the energy to cross."
		Cox and her team studied tides, currents, weather and time of day, planning the swim around all these variables.
		Cox even swam the Bearing Sea on August 7, 1987, to alleviate political tensions between the United States and the then Soviet Union.
