First Woman to Swim the Atlantic?

Jennifer Figge recently became the first woman to swim the Atlantic, right?  Wrong!  It's not true.  First of all, not even the trip was across the whole Atlantic.  Plus, it says she swam 2,100 miles in 25 days.  This is proved to be impossible.  Michael Phelps would take 20 days to swim that long at his fastest pace swimming all of it without stopping.  The story says she rested on the ship, and she could defenitly not hold that pace even if she did swim that fast.  There was also a correction later that said she only swam a fraction of it, and her total distance has not yet been calculated.  Though they did correct it evantually, Figge didn't seem to eager to correct them.
