Dubious Claim[edit]

The numbers just don't add up. She would have to swim faster them Michael Phelps to cross the Atlantic in that time frame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.85.71.245 (talk) 03:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?[edit]

Basically, this is a stub about someone who swam parts of an ocean - does that merit a wiki entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.47.15.10 (talk) 19:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but it should under hoaxes, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.58.78.135 (talk) 07:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Similar Criticisms to Benoit Lecomte's swim (different standards?)[edit]

"Lecomte covered 51.6 miles per day swimming 8 hours a day his pace per mile would be 9 minutes and 18 seconds. 6 minutes faster than world record pace for a single mile.

 8 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 480 minutes.
 3716 miles / 72 days = 51.6 miles/day.
 480minutes/51.6 miles = 9.30 minutes per mile

Seems as if the the detractors of Figge's swim are not applying the same standard to Lecomte. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.179.162 (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem is that we need to find a secondary source coming to that conclusion. As with Figge, we can't actually do the math ourselves in the article (because that would count as original research). There's no double standard — all three of the Atlantic swimming records smell pretty fishy. David (talk) 22:50, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

was merged in 2013 - Jennifer Frigge -> Jennifer Figge

It seems that Jennifer Frigge and Jennifer Figge refer to the same person. If that is the case, the two articles should be merged under the correct name of the person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.41.112.190 (talk) 14:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
