I’ve never even heard of the rapids of Niagara Falls. I thought that was fake because I thought no one would ever try to swim in Rapids.

It's amazing what will catch a player's eye. My Great Grandmother was the eldest of 14 children. She lived to be 97.

Great. Now I have research how he was thought to have cheated in competitive swimming. Wish it had been explained in the answer.

He should been satisfied with being promoted to being a Captain of a ship. Less risky

Is that the reason the named him Webb, like ducks are good swimmers because of their webbed feet, the same with penguins too.

Trish, It's quite a sight to see, you should go someday! The whirlpool at the base of the falls is very dangerous.
