LEGLESS SWIMMER
IN WATER 48 HOURS
HONOLULU, T.H., Feb. — The
legless New York swimmer, Char
les Zimmy, paddled back and
forth across the Waikii natator
ium pool recently well past the
48-hcur mark in his attempt to;
better his own record for en
durance.
Zimmy puffed a cigar and ex
changed wise cracks with spec
tators as he swam. The 47-year
old New Yorker must remain in
the water until Feb. 22nd, to bet
ter his previous record of 48
hours, 15 minutes. Zimmy set the;
record in 1937 with a swim down
the Hudson River from Albany
to New York City.
Zimmy lost both his legs in a
train accident. He says his handi
cap increased his endurance, and
enables him to siieep in the
water.
