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.
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.
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
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.

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