Marathon swimmer Annaleise Carr will hop back into the water sooner than expected.

The 16-year-old was supposed to continue her swim across Lake Erie at 5AM on Sunday, instead she’ll be starting at midnight on Saturday.

The decision to go earlier was due to changing weather patterns.

Carr has 33 kilometers left to swim from Long Point to Port Dover.

It’s expected to take her about 13 hours.

This year alone, Carr has raised over $191,000 for Camp Trillium, a camp for children with cancer.
