On Friday August 31, 2026 Cyndi Werhane of Portland Oregon will attempt to recreate the first female swim across Lake Tahoe.
Starting close to 4:30 am Cyndi will jump into Lake Tahoe at Deadmans Point and swim to Tahoe City.
To make it as close to authentic as possible Cyndi will be wearing a wool Janzen swimsuit and will apply lanolin to her body to help with chafing.
She will be piloted by Tom Linthicum of the Lake Tahoe Marathon Swimming Federation.
The swim is expected to last 6 to 8 hours not the 20+ hours it took Ms Huddleston.
Photos to follow once the swim is completed.
