I watched for 1 hour 30 minutes live before Lewis Pugh got to the Dover harbour wall, it has been an amazing feeling to have been a witness of this fantastic challenge, truly inspiring, I think a lot of people around the world have now a real hero! Not only because it is not easy to swim that incredible distance but mainly because of the cause. Let's help the oceans, Let's help his cause! We can do it all together. Greetings from Mexico City! Congratulations!
I can’t swim properly but run in place in cold water in winter, about 5-8 c most cold I ever do in pool, this was beautiful to watch , inspirational and a very important cause.
Amazing! Was sent here after hearing your story about intention, focus and that inner calling (intuition) and you followed through on it. Incredible achievement - inspiring.
Note that despite the fact it was the middle of summer (July 15) there was no "open patch of sea" due to "the dramatic melt of Arctic sea ice, as the result of climate change." The video taken when the icebreaker arrives at the North Pole (~2:07) clearly shows the only open water was that created by the ship. Nonetheless, this man has brass balls, and I salute him!
this to me seemed ridiculous! he had to walk barefoot on the ice .. where were the people to put down some kind of towel or something so his feet don't get frost bite?? instead the guy comes in for a high five... incredibly inspiring though!
One question I have for Lewis Pugh in regard to preparation for a those swims: Does he does a lot of swims in say zero degree Celsius water at least three times a day for a least three weeks or preferably at least a month before the swims? I think acclimatization can make a lot of difference. I have seen times after having done so much wading in cold water for a long time it was easier to step into water with ice on it with my bare feet than it was say stepping into a public pool in the middle of summer with a water temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. I believe there is such a thing that if you swim in very cold water, say three times a day, certainly at least two, and do it day in, day out, you don't get that shock like you would if you had never been in water like that and then fell in.
Lewis Pugh Fantastic my Friend INCREDIBLE, should be World Record, you need to Ask WIM HOF to do this and see if he can Swim Further :) Excellent mate!
While I set at my armchair relaxing .... watch this video ...I can't imagine sb could do that its ahuge achievement ....fight the cold water swim at the sea when thier team wearing thick clothes for long distance .....its amazing ...

Who as an open water swimmer is still drawing inspiration from this video in 2022?
Dude, still can't believe you did this swim! ✌️
Still amazing to watch, after you have seen it ten times. Thanks Lewis for bringing this problem into focus!!
What's the problem, and what's the evidence for it?
I'm 45 years old, and this is the only person who has truly inspired me in my life...
so, when is your upcoming north pole swim?

One does not simply swim the North Pole.
Still warmer the North Sea.
And you didn’t get even a proper towel after that...
"Months of planning." Forgets to out googles on before getting in freezing water. lol. Good effort though.
