An impressive athlete to say the least.

The Olympic and record-breaking Maltese swimmer, Neil Agius, is currently attempting to swim for 10 hours straight as part of his training for his swim between Mallorca and Ibiza next month.

The swim between the two Spanish islands will cover a total of 100 miles where he’ll more or less spend 70 hours straight swimming in the open water.

Neil is no stranger to record-breaking long-distance swims, having managed to swim for 125.7km in June of 2021 between Linosa to Xlendi.

That was total 52 hours of non-stop swimming!

Neil is also a huge powerful environmental conservation activist and does all this to continue raising awareness about the problems the environment is facing.

Well done Neil!
