He has swum the length of the Sognefjord, set records in the Arctic, Antarctica and every ocean in the world. Now, Lewis Gordon Pugh is swimming the entire length of the River Thames, in the UK, to raise awareness about global warming. We wish Lewis the very best of luck, and and look forward to helping him cool down from the heat afterwards, when he will hopefully attend the Sognefjord Swim Festival 10th-13th August. Read more about Lewis' Thames swim in the Daily Mail and Telegraph.
