New enough, long enough. Article well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, presentable, with no obvious copyright issues. Hook is cited, short enough and interesting. No images in the article. QPQ not necessary. My one concern is that the article backing up the hook is two years old, so saying that she currently holds the record is problematic, since somebody could have broken it in the interim. Can I suggest:

@Pelicanfootman - Is that ok for you? Mariamnei (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
That works perfectly, @Mariamnei. Thanks! Pelicanfootman (talk) 21:03, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
ALT1 approved. Mariamnei (talk) 13:20, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Pelicanfootman and Mariamnei: I'd be a bit queasy about just running a "person holds record" hook, but the details of the feat are fairly interesting. how about: ALT2: ... that Australian Eva Buzo swam the entire English channel in 13 °C (55 °F) waters, breaking the women's world record for earliest-in-season crossing? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 02:48, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- Works well for me, @theleekycauldron. You're right, the 13-degree water is the most interesting detail. Pelicanfootman (talk) 21:03, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
