EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Daniel Carpio, a renowned Peruvian swimmer. As the holder of the South American Championships title, Carpio embarked on an ambitious journey to conquer the mighty English Channel. In preparation for this daunting feat, he sought guidance from none other than E. H. Temm, a distinguished British swimmer who holds the remarkable distinction of being the only man to have successfully swum across the Channel in both directions. Taken on 13th July 1947 at Hastings Bathing Pool, this monochrome image showcases Carpio and Temm side by side, their determination evident in their expressions. With his vast experience and expertise, Temm stands as a pillar of support for Carpio during his rigorous training sessions. The photograph not only encapsulates two exceptional athletes but also serves as a testament to human resilience and ambition. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this timeless snapshot from the twentieth century. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded that boundaries can be overcome with unwavering dedication and unwavering support from those who have paved the way before us.
