seen this earlier. Absolutely amazing. 53 hours in the water! Not sure what she does when she needs a sleep? she looked a bit bloated as well, being in the water for so long!

Awesome stuff, especially considering how long it is since she first attempted the swim.

I swam just over a mile in the pool this morning. Knackered after. I only have to dodge the odd fat fker, she had to deal with sharks, jellyfish, ships, tides, a couple of Cubans trying to use her as a makeshift raft.

How she did this I don't know. Amazing achievement. Plus, she is almost twice my age.
