Main event

Brave swimmer Lynn Cox.
This sensational swim, when for the first time a man literally could sail from the USA to the USSR by swimming, became a star in the career of a 30-year-old extreme lady, although she already had several amazing records by that time.
In 1972, she swam across the Channel in 9 hours 57 minutes, a year later improved her achievement by 21 minutes.
In 1975 she became the first woman to conquer the Cook Strait, dividing the islands of New Zealand.

Lynn Cox became the first in the world who swam in the cold water of Baikal for 4 hours 18 minutes about 18 km. This unique event came into the Guinness Book of Records.
Holidays
Day of Debt Return
In fact, a very controversial holiday. On the one hand, this is a holiday for those to whom they must repay a debt, and on the other, it is a sad occasion for those who must repay them.
I would like to wish everyone on this day - to take money only if we sure that we will return them. And accordingly, to lend only when we will not be sorry for the money spent.
But why dwell on money and other material things? Give back to those around you the positive, which was once stingy: a kind word, an encouraging smile - and the world will begin to sparkle with colors again.
