Sognefjord Challenge - 2004:

In the final stages of his fjord swim in 2004, Lewis Gordon Pugh asked a group of swimmers from Leikanger to do something which had never been done before - to swim across the Sognefjord from Borlaug to Leikanger, a distance of 3.7 km. A swim of this distance is a great challenge, said Lewis. On 17 August 2004, five swimmers successfully crossed the fjord. They were the founders of 'The Sognefjord Challenge'. A record book documenting completed fjord swims is kept at the Sognefjord Hotel, Leikanger.
