Not until the following year did Ederle the kid become Ederle the champion. To the great surprise of even her coaches and teammates, she set a slew of world records in a single race in August of 1922. At that point, swimming became more than just a pleasurable pursuit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1926 (<a href=\"https:\/\/nyadfactcheck.com\/annex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1926_Schommel.jpg\">Lottie Schoemmell<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nEderle was busy becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1929 &amp; 1930 (<a href=\"https:\/\/nyadfactcheck.com\/annex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1929-Garrick.jpg\">Lillian Garrick<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/nyadfactcheck.com\/annex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1930_benoit.jpg\">Anne Priller Benoit<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe quiet and shy Ederle was still reeling from the consequences of her English Channel triumph. \u201cIf I\u2019d known how it was going to be,\u201d Ederle said in 1930, \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019d have done it.\u201d And the Great Depression probably also diverted her attention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1959 (<a href=\"https:\/\/nyadfactcheck.com\/annex\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1959_struble.jpg\">Diane Struble<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nLife had settled down for Ederle. She might have heard about Struble\u2019s swim. But, assuming Nyad actually visited, why would Ederle think to mention Struble years later?
