History

Before 1950, no one had attempted to cross lac Memphrémagog in a solo marathon swim. Lac Memphrémagog is a glacial lake located between Newport, Vermont, United States and Magog, Québec, Canada. But in the early 1950s, local Sherbrooke swimmer Lamontagne Lorenzo made the first attempts. On 9 July 1955, the 24-year-old swam for 21 hours 30 minutes before being pulled from the water 2 miles from his goal. Five weeks later on 21 August 1955, 19-year-old William Francis Billy O'Connor became the first person to complete a crossing of lac Memphrémagog in 18 hours 35 minutes, swimming from south to north despite a storm that hit near midnight.

O'Connor took a 10-minute break every hour to replenish his energy and power. After walking into lac Memphrémagog at 4:30 pm, and braving a storm late at night, he walked up on the shore of Magog at 11:05 am.

25 years after O'Connor's feat, the first crossing took place in 1979, a distance of 42 km between Prouty Beach, Newport (USA) and Pointe Merry in Magog (Quebec). The crossing was held during a summer festival with cultural programs, shows, vendors, and entertainment.
