Annette Kellerman, an Australian swimmer and actress, was known for her achievements in long-distance swimming. She won several prestigious races, including the 1905 and 1907 championships in the 100-meter freestyle and the women's 4-mile race in 1905 at the New South Wales Championships. Kellerman was also the first woman to swim across the English Channel, completing the feat in 1905, though it was not an official race. Her contributions to swimming and sports helped pave the way for future female athletes.
