On 2013, adventurer Sean Conway became the first man ever to swim the entire length of Great Britain. The expedition of about 1,400 kilometers (900miles), which started on June 30, 2013 took him 135 days from start to finnish. Ninety (90) days of the journey were spent in the water which saw him drink 20 litres of seawater. The remaining 45 days were spent avoiding bad weather and resting, sometimes ashore and othertimes on a yacht.
Sean Conway who was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe, is an endurance adventurer, a motivational speaker and an author. In 2016 he completed the worlds longest triathlon of 4,200 miles around the coast of Britain, having already cycled and swum previously. In 2018, he started on the record for the fastest cycling of Europe by bicycle from Portugal to Russia, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles. The expedition took him 24 days, 18 hours and 39 minutes. The record has since been broken and it now belongs to one Leigh Timmis.
