Lake Lugano ✅
30.4km | 8h 34m | New record 🔥

The heat was brutal, but the mission kept me going. 1st of 10 Swiss lakes done. Grateful to my crew and family — couldn’t do it without them.

“I had to stop at 56km. Hypothermia took me out.”

But I came back… and broke a 38-year-old world record swimming the length of Lake Geneva. 🏊‍♂️🔥
