Meet Amanda Ernzer: Channeling Success

Amanda Ernzer is certainly not the only Dolphin to have swum the English Channel...but in 2025 she was the fastest American to complete the feat. Amanda tells us how and why and what it took — physically, emotionally, and mentally — to succeed. No surprise, she does it with great humility and a few tears. Amanda credits her friends, family, and most of all fellow Dolphins for helping her train to make the legendary swim from England to France. Learn about Amanda's life, work, motivation, and what she learned about herself and others during her two and a half years of training.
