The Moment Neil Agius Completes Record-Breaking 52-Hour, 140km Swim Around Malta

This is a video on Reddit, showing what is described in the OP title. Google tells me this happened two days ago.

I can't even imagine what this guy feels like at that moment.

1. Amazing effort.

Sounds like he has big plans to share his mindset and helping others climb life’s mental mountains. I hope to learn more about this! Thanks for posting.

2. This is an instagram video of him the following day.

Hope the video comes through. You'll probably have to click the volume on.

I can't imagine 52 hours of strenuous physical activity. To me, it seems impossible...superhuman. Permanently life-altering. And yet this individual seems in pretty good shape the next day. Absolutely amazing to me.

5. this is a long swim, 140 km; Diana Niyad did 110 mi. from Cuba-FL

Both swimmers are exceptional and heroes.

6. It looks like Nyad's swim was not certified

Due to undocumented times in the log and other concerns. This per Wikipedia for what it’s worth.

7. That is a shame,

She is a hero, nonetheless.
I think she did more than one attempt.
