Noam Yaron has become the first swimmer to cross the Mediterranean between Calvi, Corsica, in Monaco with nothing but a swimsuit.
In a bid to raise awareness for the protection of the world’s oceans, the 28-year-old covered 110 miles in 102 hours, transcending record holder Sarah Thomas’s accomplishment on Lake Champlain in 2017.
Yoran has also spoken about the vivid hallucinations he experienced during his expedition, along with claims that he was able to sleep while swimming—a feat that he has since insisted was no hallucination.
