A white lady in Ghana has attained a remarkable feat after swimming across Lake Bosomtwe, in the Ashanti Region.

Lake Bosomtwe is the only natural lake, located southeast of Kumasi, with an area of 49 km², a depth of 45 m (148 ft) and a length of 8.6 km.

Many people, both locals and foreigners, have attempted to swim the lake from end to end with only a few successes.
