Ross Edgley is an extreme adventurer, ultra-marathon sea swimmer, and author. He holds multiple world records but is best known for completing the World’s Longest Staged Sea Swim in 2018 when he became the first person in history to swim 1,780 miles around Great Britain in 157 days.
Between June and November 2018, Edgley completed a 157-day 1,792 miles (2,884 km) swim around Britain.
Aided by a team of experts who monitored the tides and his health in his 16 meters (52 feet) support boat Hecate, he typically swam for six hours, rested for six hours, and then swam for another six hours on repeat. He typically consumed around 15,000 calories a day.
On 23 September 2022, Edgley attempted a charity swim in Loch Ness. In preparation for the extreme endurance event and to counteract the cold effect of continual immersion in water, he gained 10 kilos of weight by consuming 10,000 calories a day.
