16yo Caitlin O'Reilly swims Foveaux Strait, completes Triple Crown - a podcast by RNZ

Sixteen-year-old swimming sensation Caitlin O'Reilly has swum the Foveaux Strait, making her the youngest person to achieve the New Zealand Triple Crown.
That includes swimming Cook Strait and Lake Taupo.
She swam the Cook Strait at only 12 - as the youngest Kiwi and youngest female to make the crossing.
She's fresh out of the freezing Foveaux water, finishing more than 27 kilometres in just over 10 hours last night - all without a wetsuit.
Caitlin spoke to Susie Ferguson.
