From July 25 to 26 ultra-distance athlete Adam Ellenstein will attempt to swim 105 kilometers (65 miles) non-stop across Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia Canada. The swim will raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease through the Davis Phinney Foundation whose mission is to help people with Parkinson’s to live well today.
Last fall, Ellenstein swam 30 kilometers across Lake Winnipeg to train for this upcoming swim. At just 39 years old, Ellenstein is also a Race Across America qualifier and has completed both IronMan and UltraMan triathlons.
If completed, Ellenstein’s swim will also achieve a Guinness World Record for the fastest non-stop swim of the length of Okanagan Lake, which he estimates will take 40 hours to complete. Ellenstein will stick to a “structured nutrition plan” to keep his energy up since he will burn about 10,000 total calories during those 40 hours.
