Godmanchester woman completes solo swim across English Channel using only arms
Sophie Etheridge has completed the challenge in around 29 hours
A woman from Godmanchester has completed a swim across the English Channel, using only her arms.
Mrs Etheridge suffers from complex regional pain syndrome and fibromyalgia after a car accident in 2011.
It means she finds the touch of anything on her legs, including water, clothes and even air, painful.
Ms Etheridge, completed the challenge at 05:26 BST after more than 29 hours of swimming, her support team said.
It's thought to unofficially be the longest Channel swim on record.
Mrs Etheridge undertook the challenge to raise awareness of the STARLIGHT campaign by Swimming Teachers Association, which provides education for swimming teachers working with people with disabilities.
