Mille Gade Corson’s Channel Triumph and Romance
Mille Gade Corson, a Danish immigrant and Harlem YMCA instructor, swam the English Channel in 15 hours and 3 minutes. Her earlier Manhattan Island swim and a 143 mile Albany to New York relay led to marriage with Clem Corson. The Corsons raised two children at the New York reservation home, balancing athletic life with modest means and strong family devotion.
