On the 17th of march 2001 in the early morning Kate Johns swam the Cook Strait.

This 25 kilometre swim though rough, freezing seas with a temperature of 18 degrees, must be almost impossible for a 14 year old girl.

She swam the Strait because it was here dream goal since the age of seven. Kate was the youngest person to swim Cook Strait. Her time was a great seven hours and six minutes.
