I have the nicest World Record Holder back on the podcast, he’s an astonishing swimmer: swimming faster than most can only dream; but has also become a global ambassador for our sport, championing change in our oceans and doing all he can to remain as front facing as possible. He completed the Ocean Seven in 2023 when he became the first person in history to achieve the Oceans Seven within a calendar year, and he also holds the record for the fastest cumulative time.… among his number of swimming achievements since the O7 include a record breaking Round Manhattan Swim and he’s gone on to swim around Ibiza in a two person relay with Nathalie Phol, braking another record in the process. It’s of course the wonderful Andy Donaldson.
