  导读:年仅14岁的加拿大少女亚森诺经过不到24个小时的奋战,游完了52公里的泳程,成功横渡北美五大淡水湖之一的安大略湖,成为历史上完成此项挑战最年轻的人。
  A 14-year-old girl from St. Catharines, Ontario has become the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario!
  Trinity Arsenault completes the 52-kilometre (32-mile) swim from Niagara to Toronto, Ontario on Monday in less than 24 hours!
  Trinity’s mother Christine also completed the swim a few years ago. Not only is Trinity the youngest person to complete the swim, but she is also a part of the only mother-daughter partner to do the swim.
  “It’s who they are, it’s what they love to do and this is now a family legend for them,” said Trinity’s grandmother Deborah.
  In 1954, Marilyn Bell became the first person to ever swim across the lake. When Trinity finished her swim, Bell called to congratulate her!
  “She said I remind her of a young her with a dream and that she hopes we become good friends,” Trinity said Bell said during their call. “I can’t believe Marilyn Bell just said that to me!”
  The record was before held by Annaleise Carr who swam the same route when she was 14 years and 158 days old in 2012. Trinity completed her swim when she was 14 years and 70 days old.
