Swimming 510km Non-stop | Official World Record (Yukon River) | Ross Edgley

How far can a human swim non-stop? No sleep, no rest and no touching land. On June 16, 2024, we wanted to find out and embarked on a 510km (317 mile) non-stop swim down the Yukon River (Canada) in water temperatures as low as 8°C (46.4°F). Now ratified as an Official Guinness World Record, the entire adventure was only made possible by the heroics of the team who protected me from bears, wolves and hypothermia and navigated me through rapids, currents and log jams. One of the greatest crews ever assembled, I hope you enjoy this documentary that was 100% directed, filmed AND edited entirely by James Perrett who was 1 of these 16 HEROES: Christopher J Morgan, Ger Kennedy and Thomas Walter Kofler, Larry Bonnett, Brian Earl, Liam Parfitt, Stan Fordyce, Scott Edgley, Hester Sabery, Dr Tom Hall, Stephen O’Brien, Eric Bonnett, John Robertson, Raymond Kmyta, Shannon Kmyta and Sherrie Earl.
