Think about swimming across the English Channel(英吉利海峡). It would be difficult for anyone, right? But Melanie Barratt did it—and she is blind!
Melanie was born(出生) with poor eyesight. She could only see bright colours. School was hard for her. She couldn't join in games like other kids and often stayed by herself. But everything changed when she started swimming. She improved quickly and began to join in swimming races. She even took part in the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games, she won two golds, two silvers, and a bronze.
After that, Melanie stopped competitive(竞技) swimming. A friend introduced her to open-water swimming and she quickly fell in love with it. As she became good at it, she wanted to do more. So she decided to challenge herself by swimming across the English Channel.
The big day came on 28th August, 2024. She started swimming early in the morning. When she was swimming, the freezing water scared her and made her sick. But she didn't stop. After 12 hours and 20 minutes, she got to the other side! She became the first blind woman to swim across the English Channel!
"I don't want my eye problem to hold me back," says Melanie. She sets a great example for us all.
