Erline Christopherson, the first woman to swim the length of Lake Tahoe, will be back in the area on July 18 to talk about that memorable day.

She was 16 when she accomplished this feat. She will share her memories of that record-setting day in 1962 with historic videos, photos and stories.

The free talk will be at the South Lake Tahoe Library on Rufus Allen Boulevard at 6pm.

Five years ago Christopherson gave a talk in South Lake Tahoe, and at that time the Lake Tahoe Museum had an exhibit about her.

    This was an exciting time in the Lake’s history. Erline is an exceptional presenter. I’m so glad she’s returning so all those who missed this talk have another opportunity. I love the South Lake Tahoe Library.

    This is such an honor for me to be asked to tell my story. I hope all of you will come and enjoy a little history.
