Monumental hardwork paid off for Arrowtown swimmer, Liana Smith yesterday, when she completed a record breaking Foveaux Strait swim.
Liana Smith set a record for the swim from the northern tip of Stewart Island to the bottom of the South Island - a distance of 29.6 kilometres.
It was the third leg of the big swim treble for Liana - completing the New Zealand Triple Crown swimming challenge - that's Cook Strait, Lake Taupo and now Foveaux Strait.
She's now the fastest woman in combined time for the 3 swims. She talks to Jesse about her feat.
