EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1940s, we see two remarkable swimmers standing side by side. On the left is Daniel Carpio, a renowned Peruvian swimmer who holds the prestigious South American Championships title. Carpio has traveled all the way to Hastings Bathing Pool in England to train for his ambitious attempt at conquering the English Channel. Standing next to him on the right is E. H. Temm, a British swimmer of great distinction. Temm holds a unique achievement as he is the only man to have successfully swum across the treacherous Channel in both directions. With his vast experience and expertise, Temm takes on the role of guiding and supporting Carpio during his challenging endeavor. This photograph captures not only their physical strength but also their determination and camaraderie as they prepare for this monumental feat. Both men are dressed in classic swimming trunks, ready to face whatever obstacles lie ahead. Taken on July 13th, 1947, this monochrome image transports us back to an era where these incredible athletes pushed boundaries and defied limitations with their extraordinary abilities. It serves as a testament to human resilience and showcases how sport can bring people together from different corners of the world. This historic print provided by TopFoto. co. uk encapsulates an inspiring moment in sports history that continues to inspire generations even today.
