An amazing swimmer

Martin Strel was born in October 1954, in Slovenia. He is a famous marathon swimmer and has
broken world records for swimming the world’s longest rivers, including the Danube, the longest
river in Europe, the Mississippi, the longest river in North America, the Yangtze, the longest
river in Asia, and the Amazon, which many people say is the longest river in the world. When
Strel swims these rivers he only sleeps for five hours each night. He prepares for each swim for
more than a year and it takes him half a year to recover after the swim. In 2000, Strel swam the
entire length of the River Danube, from Germany to Romania, a distance of 2,860 kilometres. In
July 2001, he broke the world record for non-stop swimming. He swam an amazing 504 km in
just 84 hours. In 2002, he swam the Mississippi, a distance of 3,885 km. He completed the
swim in just 68 days. In 2004, he swam the Yangtze river in China, swimming 4000 km in only
40 days. Then, in 2007, Strel began his most difficult and his most dangerous journey – the
Amazon, a river full of snakes, fish and dangerous currents. He swam the river from its source
on the border between Colombia and Brazil to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean, a distance of
5,268 kilometres. The swim took 66 days and Strel was completely exhausted when he finished
his swim on the eastern coast of Brazil. And his next swim? Strel says he is not planning to
swim the River Nile in Africa because it is too easy!
