Lynne Cox is a legendary long-distance open-water swimmer.  She's held multiple world records and was the first person to swim the freezing waters of the Bering Strait in 1987 - which got the attention of both the Kremlin and the White House.  Her accolades are actually too many to mention, so Sonal focused on just a few incredible highlights in this fascinating chat.  Including a wildlife encounter that Lynne could well be the only person in history to ever experience.
