Daan Verhoeven, holder of the world record Constant Apple No Fins, has set a new world record: he is the first man to brake the hecto-feet-first, swimming down 100 feet, feet first:

asked whether his feet were always so athletic, he kicked the reporter.
 
Haha this is awesome, congratulations on your breathtaking record! But actually... this really looks difficulty :D

Daan, you forgot going feet first on the return, so I am afraid the WR status will be rejected.
 
I was thinking the same.... will he turn at the bottom, will he turn.... You did not... not Superman after all.

Indeed, no flashy costume this time, juries don't like that. :hmm

And how can you have any WR without an apple in your mouth?

Maybe give Apple a call for sponsorship for a do over at 2 Dean's Blue Hole?
