Hi Guys

just updating those members who were interested in the 19km underwater open water swim I was attempting.

On Saturday the 17th of March I swam 19km to the Island off our coast (Rottnest) entirely underwater propelled by a Leaderfins "Flyer" Monofin with the aid of a boat mounted air compressor. I covered the distance in 6 hours and 40minutes.

It was a beautiful swim and was the realisation of 10 months training, learning the monofin technique (I still have a way to go) and getting miles under my belt. Thank you for all your input to my questions, ranging from what mono to buy and technique qustions.

I still cannot find any details as to what the world record underwater distance is. I know Neal Watson did 66 miles, but how did he do it? was it non-stop?

Someone mentioned a German military diver that had done it. Any ideas?

Cheers

Gooch
