Braving all difficulties, the 23-year-old, completed the challenge to support two marine conservation charities.
Twenty-three-year-old Jasmine Harrison has become the first woman in the world to swim the entire length of the United Kingdom. Ms Harrison achieved this feat on October 18 after completing the 900-mile (1,448 km) swim from Land's End to John o'Groats in more than three months, reported the BBC.
The distance is the equivalent of swimming about 58,000 lengths of a 25-metre pool. She also became the second fastest person ever to achieve the feat, behind Ross Edgley, who took 62 days to do so, the outlet further said.
"From the moment I first dived into the water to finally reaching dry land again, this has been a truly epic experience," she told BBC.
Ms Harrison began her journey in July and said her longest swim was 12 hours while the maximum distance undertaken in a shift was 14 nautical miles.
