Ocean swimming... with Andy Donaldson
Listen now
Description
Andy Donaldson is a world-recorder holding open-water swimmer. In 2023, he is attempting to swim the 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 Songs in this episode - all licensed under a Creative Commons License: Andy - MisfitMediocrity Donald trumpet vs delirium (silence) - David (G.RaFF) parton Son Lux - Lost It To Trying (Umpire Remix) - Umpire Sapphire - Tobu Photo from Andy on instagram
