History of Cook Strait swimmers

http://www.teara.govt.nz/EarthSeaAndSky/RecreationSeaAndSky/OpenWaterSwimming/3/ENZ-Resources/Standard/2/en

Googl'd this link which has an audio of Barrie Devonport being the first man to conquer Cook Strait in 1962. The audio is quite haunting esp. as you hear the motor of the pilot boat in the background.

It has some great links on other marathon swimmers.
