Gertrude Ederle grew up in New York City in the early
1900s. She learned to swim as a young child during her
family’s vacations in New Jersey. She developed a passion
for swimming, often swimming at a nearby public pool in
the city. When she was twelve, Gertrude, also known as
Trudy, joined the Women’s Swimming Association (WSA).Through this organization, she worked with coaches to
improve her swimming techniques.
Trudy decided to enter the world of competitive swimming
soon after she joined the WSA. She quickly became known
as a skilled athlete. In the early 1920s, she set 29 national
and world records! She also won a gold medal at the 1924
Summer Olympics.

In 1925, Trudy set her sights on a different kind of victory.
She wanted to be the first woman to swim across the
English Channel. Trudy knew this would not be easy. TheEnglish Channel is the body of water that separates
southern England from northern France. The shortest
distance across the Channel is about 21 miles - a long way
to swim! Swimming from one shore to the other is also
difficult because of the strong current and cold temperature
of the water. Further, Trudy knew that this feat had only
been accomplished by five men. Some people thought that
she couldn’t swim across the Channel. They believed it was
too dangerous and too difficult for a woman. However,Trudy was up to the challenge, and she began training for
the swim.
On the morning of August 6, 1926, twenty-year-old Trudy
entered the water at Cape Gris-Nez, France. She put on
motorcycle googles to protect her eyes from the salty
seawater. She coated her body with grease, which would
help protect her from the cold temperatures. Trudy was
ready. She began the long swim, resting every now and
again. A tugboat, filled with her family members, followed
her in case she needed help. For hours, Trudy fought her
way across the Channel through the rough waves. Fast
winds made the current strong, pulling her in different
directions and forcing her to swim a much longer distance
that she had planned. But she did not give up. Finally, 14
hours and 31 minutes after she began, she came out of the
water at Kingsdown, England. She had made it!

Name: ______________________________________________________
Not only was Trudy the first woman to successfully swim
the English Channel, she also beat the fastest record by
almost two hours! She proved that female swimmers couldachieve anything that males could. When she returned
home to New York City, a crowd of over two million people
cheered for her.
Though Trudy stopped competing after her Channel swim,
swimming was always her first love. She even taught
swimming lessons to hearing-impaired children. Nicknamed
the “Queen of the Waves” by reporters, Trudy will always be
known for her historic swim across the sea.
