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 the Black Sea in 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 poisonous snakes, piranha fish and extremely dangerous currents. He
swam the river from its source in the rainforest 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 what
about his next swim? Is he planning to swim the River Nile, the longest river in Africa and possibly
the longest river in the world? No - Strel says he is not planning to swim the River Nile because
he thinks it is too easy!
