I thought this was interesting. He just broke the record for the longest swim.

So, my question is: What is your big and seemingly impossible goal in swimming?
Mine is to swim the English Channel. Currently, I have no plans to do so but this goal always lurks in the back of my head.
Yours?

A real OFF THE CHART SWIM! OFF THE CHART GREAT SWIM UNDER DANGEROUS CONDITIONS!
The English Channel Society posts their records and a few years ago I read that one person swam over, then back, and then back over, crossing the Channel in ALL three swims at the same time without stopping (triple crossing) WITHOUT A WET SUIT! That is most likely my most admired swim.....Swimming from England to France, then back to England, then back to France in that cold water without a wet suit is impossible for me to get my head around....Take about Superman!
Some of the greatest off shore swimmers in the world have fallen short of one crossing, let alone a triple crossing.
