Vicki swam on through July 17, July 18, and onward into the early hours of Tuesday, July 19th. She arrived on the sand beach adjacent to the harbor at the Port of Goderich, Ontario to a cheering crowd of 400 at 5:55 a.m. after swimming for almost two days, Vicki completed the swim by using her trademark butterfly stroke for the last half mile from the outer breakwall to the beach.
