Here's a link to a chap who I think may be a little off beat.

He's a long distance swimmer and you can watch his progress. The much feared Candiru will have him holding his water whilst swimming and the water he is swimming in carries so many diseases that should he swallow sufficient he'll be hauled back on the boat and tested by doctors , I think they're from Arizona, who will test him. He's already swum the Yangtze and wants to swim the Amazon or die trying!!!!

its a worthy cause he is swimming for

its a bad choice of locations .

Thanks. Annie, I'll be watching that. As a born-again swimmer (;)) I wish him all the best. It was suggested to me last year that i should join the Belle-Isle swim -that's around an island in the Detroit river, Frankly, I'd take the Amazon.
