A page from women’s history 100 years ago today. Reflecting on Gertrude Ederle’s accomplishments while we seek refuge from the summer heat in water. 🏊‍♀️

100 years ago, 20-year-old Gertrude Ederle made history as the first woman to swim the English Channel, beating the men’s record by two hours and becoming one of the most celebrated athletes of the 1920s 🏊‍♀️

Born in New York City in 1905 to German immigrant parents, Ederle didn’t learn to swim until she was nine and didn’t learn proper form until she was fifteen. Just two years later, at the Paris 1924 Olympics, she won a gold medal in the 4x100 meter relay and two bronze medals in individual freestyle events.

In 1925, she became the first woman to swim the length of the New York Bay, breaking the existing men’s record. That same summer, Ederle made her first attempt at swimming across the English Channel, only to be pulled from the water after nearly nine hours by her coach, who was afraid she was swallowing too much saltwater. She fired him immediately and hired a new one.

On August 6, 1926, Erdele entered the water at Cape Gris-Nez, France, at 7:08 AM. She battled cold water, two separate squalls, and repeated urging from her team to quit. After 14 hours and 31 minutes, she stepped onto the English coast as the sixth person and first woman to complete the crossing, beating the previous men’s record by two hours.

She told the New York Times simply: "I knew it could be done, it had to be done, and I did it."

Ederle damaged her hearing during the swim and spent much of her later life teaching deaf children in New York City to swim. She died in 2003 at the age of 98.

The Chatsworth Women's Club-CWC April General Meeting and luncheon provided an opportunity for members to review and approve changes to our bylaws and standing rules. We also started a new club tradition. Immediately following the Pledge of Allegiance, we now sing “Our Corner of Paradise,” a song about Chatsworth written by Irving Bibo in 1940. Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65z3ldLmVvc&list=PLv8te7q3e40tuQPoal2PYkKETwF3_r8_f&index=2 to listen to this special tune dedicated to our beautiful community.
