A Personal Challenge:Lewis Pugh

 As a child his ambition was to be an explorer.

 He started his love of the ocean after moving to South Africa as a boy. He pioneered more swims than any other swimmer and can lay claim to having been the greatest cold water swimmer in history. When not swimming he works as a maritime lawyer in London and does motivational speaking.He says his swims are about competing against himself and his own limits, and campaigning against climate change
