Annaleise Carr has made it. The courageous 14-year-old girl from Simcoe has landed at Marilyn Bell Park on Toronto’s Waterfront, fulfilling her promise to repeat Bell’s historic 1954 crossing. Annaleise is seen (top) touching land shortly before 9 pm as broadcast on CTV. Below, Annaleise is embraced by her family on the shore. In the event, the Simcoe teen set her own record as the youngest person to swim the 52 km distance. She entered the waters of Lake Ontario yesterday evening at Niagara On The Lake and has been in the water continuously, under her own power, for more than 24 hours — as much as 27 hours by some reckonings. Annaleise’s parents and physicians were present along with a large crowd to greet the teen. She was immediately wrapped in blankets and placed in an ambulance for caution’s sake. It was said at the waterfront that there may be a news conference tomorrow in Port Dover Watch Annaleise enter the Lake Saturday
