She won the 2016 <a href=\"http:\/\/openwaterpedia.com\/index.php?title=Barra_Award_for_Best_Overall_Year\" target=\"_blank\">Barra Award for Best Overall Year<\/a> by the <a

href=\"http:\/\/openwaterpedia.com\/index.php?title=World_Open_Water_Swimming_Association\" target=\"_blank\">World Open Water Swimming Association<\/a>. \u00a0She is the first person to complete the <a href=\"http:\/\/dailynews.openwaterswimming.com\/2017\/07\/jaimie-monahan-achieves-unprecedented.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ice Seven Challenge<\/a>, swimming a mile in sub 5 C water on all seven continents, the final swim being in Argentina on July 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 2017.\u00a0 She has swum in the Memphremagog Winter Swim in 2015 and 2016.\u00a0 This is the first time she has swum in Vermont during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Mighty Memphre was tamed for the day, it seems by Jaimie\u2019s gentle and loving spirit and the sacrifice of Arik\u2019s sun glasses and a pair of swim goggles.\u00a0 Memphre laid down all of her defenses and let us pass without incident, without a dust up, and little drama other than the sheer beauty of swimming this lake in the clouds, the mist, and the rain, all breaking into a gorgeous sunset as we landed in Magog.\u00a0 Memphre even gave us still waters as we boated back to Newport, arriving at half past midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Monahan\u2019s swim kicks off what is scheduled to be a record breaking number of border busting swims on Lake Memphremagog during this summer season.\u00a0 Charlotte Brynn of Stowe is the next up with an individual solo attempt the length of the lake on July 17<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 On July 29<sup>th<\/sup> 2017, 39 swimmers are signed up for the 25 km swim from Newport into Canada, around Province Island and back to Newport as part of Kingdom Swim.\u00a0 Seven swimmers are signed on to swim the length of the lake in September.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian and US border officials have helped facilitate these crossings.\u00a0 We very much appreciate their consideration.<\/p>\n<p><em>Press Release courtesy of Kingdom Games<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, July 10, 2017, Jaimie Monahan of New
