Ocean swimming... with Andy Donaldson

Andy Donaldson (oceanswims.com/marathon-swimming/andy-donaldson-to-conquer-the-oceans-seven-in-one-year) is a world-recorder holding open-water swimmer. In 2023, he is attempting to swim the Oceans Seven (openwaterpedia.com/wiki/Oceans_Seven) in one year, and is making a pretty good fist of it, having already swum the English Channel (in a British record time), the North Channel (only 4 minutes off the record), the Cook Strait (in world record time) and the Molokai Channel in Hawaii. At the time of recording, he was setting off to swim the Strait of Gibraltar - and by time I published, he had broken the British record. He is raising money for Black Dog Institute (teamblackdog.org.au/fundraisers/oceansseven)
