WORLD RECORD: On May 16th, I’m attempting to swim 1,000 miles around the ENTIRE coast of Iceland — unlike the Great British Swim, Iceland will see me battling 100-ft waves, 100mph winds, sub-zero seas, and storms of snow, sand, and volcanic ash. No one’s ever tried this before (probably for good reason 🤣) which is why I want to say the BIGGEST thank you to the ELITE team who helped make this happen…

This isn’t just a swim — it’s a scientific expedition for ocean conservation. Daily eDNA + microplastic sampling with some of the world’s top researchers to help map Iceland’s marine life.

Also — MASSIVE thanks to dryrobe (cold-weather tech), ebwatches (watch sponsor) and deboerswim (wetsuit and ALL swim tech).
