Canadian swimmer Colleen Shields successfully swam across Lake Ontario on Aug. 12, 2014 at the age of 62 to become the oldest person to swim across the lake. A Sept. 8 article about people who find fulfilment in taking tasks to the extreme mistakenly said Shields gave up trying to swim across the lake after a last unsuccessful attempt in 2012. As well, the article mistakenly said that in 1954 American swimmer Florence Chadwick refused the Canadian National Exhibition's offer of $10,000 to attempt to be the first person to swim across Lake Ontario prompting Canadian swimmer Marilyn Bell to step up to the challenge. In fact, Bell decided to attempt the swim even without an offer of a reward. As well, Chadwick attempted the swim but sickness forced her out of the race after several hours.
