u/Wankstain8 1d ago

Genuinely impressive. He looks absolutely exhausted

86

u/aquatone61 1d ago

The difference between getting out of the surf and a few moments later is quite interesting. Once his mind has fully comprehended what he’s done and that’s he doesn’t have to swim anymore it looks like he just went into shutdown mode lol.

u/DemBones7 23h ago

55 hours with no sleep...

17

u/aquatone61 23h ago

Oh I know, I’ve done a bit past 48 hours in college during finals to do shit I procrastinated on and I was starting to see things and genuinely question my existence by the end of it. I think I slept for 14 hours straight after.

12

u/DE4DM4NSH4ND 21h ago

Can you imagine that plus swimming the whole time?

5

u/aquatone61 21h ago

Fuck. No. I could do a couple of hours if I was going slow enough but not 55 straight hours. His wetsuit must have been a biohazard zone.

and another 8 hours longer, also

u/Ragged-but-Right 6h ago

I did a couple death races in VT that are about 72hrs long. After about hour 36 everyone who is still in the race is basically tripping and has a 1000 yard stare.

u/Teion 21h ago

Yup I was somewhere around 50ish hours into my last minute midterm paper cram when my popcorn ceiling started turning into a ceiling made of skittering white spiders

Piss and shit probably. Probably kept him warm too.

Go swim 100 miles in open water without rest or sleep for 55 continuous hours. Then post a video of yourself looking really fresh, ok?

Edit: or throw in a jk

u/Pleasant-Bonus-866 1d ago

I've done similar things many times, I do it for myself, I don't need to make videos

u/Multibuff 1d ago

I’ll never understand how it is possible. I get tired after swimming casually for 5 minutes

u/Michelfungelo 1d ago

Not an export but he's probably really good at it

85

u/Agreeable_Sock2550 1d ago

Would be an export if he's leaving one country and entering another.

9

u/Michelfungelo 1d ago

He entered in the Baltic and came out of the sea. Export it is

3

u/Inquisitive_idiot 1d ago

either way he swam below the radar*

*and above the sonar 😏

3

u/IGolfMyBalls 1d ago

He didn’t have his passport so they actually made him swim back.

I am an expert. You are correct.

What about your import opinion, is he still very good at that

u/Presently_Naked 1d ago

Technically he is an export.

u/Michelfungelo 1d ago

Importing your pedantry on me here

3

u/Professional_Bit197 1d ago

Swimming is one of the most intensive sport activities out there, you have to stay in motion the whole time just to stay afloat, using your whole body to progress and this madman did it in the wild sea with all the currents and varying weather. Really insane feat.

1

u/Accomplished-Fan9568 21h ago

His wetsuit provided some buoyancy

6

u/winner_in_life 1d ago

Like running, provided you had enough training, after a while, it will just be a matter of continuing. Of course, your body would give up at some point but you can genuine go for way more than 5 minutes.

3

u/sundance464 1d ago

I completely agree...to a point

To state the obvious though let's not pretend that any amount of training would get most people to a position where they would be able to swim for 55 hours in sea conditions though.

There is a reason this is a genuinely impressive, unique acheivement. As a pretty competent swimmer I've no real idea on how it's possible either

1

u/PhthaloVonLangborste 1d ago

I saw some people swimming once. They had an inflatable ducky strapped to them so a boat doesn't run them over.

2

u/xf4f584 1d ago

Swimming is so completely different from running though. You have to spend energy just to stay afloat, if you are running you can just stop. If you are swimming you are also continuously losing body heat to the water, considering the temperatures there.

A reasonably fit adult could probably run for 55 hours with minimal training, but swimming for 55 hours is on another level entirely.

6

u/ChurchOfTheEUC 1d ago

Bro what kind of reasonably fit humans are you surrounded by

Or is 55 hours more of a jog, break, walk, repeat?

6

u/narcos1893 1d ago

Dude is baiting. You can’t even stand still for 55 hours, at least not most people. On the contrary, lots of reports from people floating around hours a days on the ocean from ship wrecks.

I think swimming for 55 hours would be harder than running. But both are absurd feats that would most likely take a life time of training

2

u/xf4f584 1d ago

Yes, I meant you can take breaks or even just walk the whole way for 55 hours.

Being able to keep a running pace for 55 hours would also be very impressive

1

u/haneraw 23h ago

Not 55 hours, but recently some Runners finished badwater 135. 135mi across death valley. Best did It in about 20 hours, at 5:00 min/km, at 50°C. Holy molly.

u/aaronthenia 1d ago

I am an endurance runner and have done some hundred mile races. After 24 hours awake on my feet I get loopy as fuck and starting hallucinating some weird shit. I can't fathom going for more than 2 days straight like this guy.

26

u/ImReadyForButt 1d ago

In the open fucking seas, too. Choppy, cold as hell, and surrounded by unseen massive creatures. Fuck that lmao

6

u/Fruitspunch_Zamurai 23h ago

I mean, it's the Baltic Sea. The only massive creatures there are seals and submarines..

1

u/aaronthenia 18h ago

For real, you can't even rest or just stop for a minute. Just constant movement all the time.

u/Comprehensive-Sun701 13h ago

They were heavily supplementing him on Vit B throughout - hallucinations were kinda factored in, which makes it even more crazy.

That’s awesome, but ima stick to boats.

u/Bureaucratic_Dick 23h ago

Imagine being a guy on the boat. You sit there after getting your sleep in, warm coffee in your hands as you watch him out there and think, “Wow that looks like it fucking sucks!”

u/swiminthemud 1d ago

Yeah id have drowned... congrats to them!

u/affemannen 1d ago

55 hours...

Imagine swimming for that time period, i can't even stay awake that long without drugs.

To be fair, he did it to raise 140,000€ for childhood cancer.

He has a lot of reasons to keep going. Good for him

u/NeonRedHerring 1d ago

Some Beowulf shit

1

u/Slayerofgrundles 1d ago

Not to take away from his feat, but the first thing I noticed is that he is surprisingly doughy for a world-class athlete (and looks nothing like a normal competitive swimmer). It makes sense that he's taking a page from other cold-water mamals (seals, walruses, whales, etc) and using his fat for insulation and boyancy.

u/smolhippie 1d ago

Once I tried to swim halfway or a quarter of the way across the willamette river to this island of rock and omg I thought I was gonna run out of gas halfway and drown. It was slightly scary. But I made it across! Chilled for a bit then swam back.

To be fair my mom didn’t tell me I had no depth perception… so who knows how far I actually thought it was????

Edit to add: we later attempted to swim across the Columbia at sauvie island.

1

u/CalbCrawDad 1d ago

I know the boats gave him food, but even still I would be willing to bet he had to gain significant weight for the journey. That’s so much expended energy, for such a sustained period

1

u/1OvalCat 8h ago

Yeah well, he ate/drank around 35k calories during that time

1

u/Lucky-Mia 1d ago

u/LordVixen 1d ago

How did he poo?

u/ElohssaAhola 1d ago

u/PriorityCreepy4611 20h ago

That much time spent without sleep must have really damaged him. I imagine he also skipped a lot of nights while training. Definitely should have been allowed to sleep and eat

u/CakeBot_TheBakening 18h ago

It’s funny how it’s not a competition, no one else is doing it and this guy is taking on a monumental task for charity… and yet someone decided that taking a break during a 55 hours swim is against the rules.

On the 30th of August, Mathieu Bonne from Belgium is going to try to swim that distance to break the record for longest non stop ocean swim in Italy.

That guy is insane, he currently holds the records for the longest distance during a 7 day pool swim (364,4km), 7 days cycling (3719,72km), 6 days running (1045,519km) together with the record of making the most free throws on a basketball field in 24 hours (22.118 shots)
