How far can a human swim non-stop? No sleep, no rest and no touching land. On June 16, 2024, we wanted to find out and embarked on a 510km (317 mile) non-stop swim down the Yukon River (Canada) in water temperatures as low as 8°C (46.4°F). Now ratified as an Official Guinness World Record, the entire adventure was only made possible by the heroics of the team who protected me from bears, wolves and hypothermia and navigated me through rapids, currents and log jams. One of the greatest crews ever assembled, I hope you enjoy this documentary that was 100% directed, filmed AND edited entirely by James Perrett who was 1 of these 16 HEROES: Christopher J Morgan, Ger Kennedy and Thomas Walter Kofler, Larry Bonnett, Brian Earl, Liam Parfitt, Stan Fordyce, Scott Edgley, Hester Sabery, Dr Tom Hall, Stephen O’Brien, Eric Bonnett, John Robertson, Raymond Kmyta, Shannon Kmyta and Sherrie Earl.

★ Lastly (but equally as important) I want to say a HUGE thank you to Guinness World Records, World Open Water Swimming Association (WOWSA), World Open Water Swimming Federation (WOWF) and the Marathon Swimming Federation, since I’m very aware my strange swims exist outside of the realms of conventional swimming, so your help and support to make this an official world record is MASSIVELY appreciated as we collectively push the boundaries of open-water swimming into new unchartered water.

Props to you man, this is absolutely nuts!!
Great atempt but … he is stopping many times during the swim 🙂
Amazing- so happy for you and your team! Glad that the weather window up here also worked in your favor! Incredible!
Ross, you’re a LEGEND!! 🏊♂️
What a film, You are an absolute legend and a bloody machine, Cant wait to see what you can do next
True inspiration. Always smiling whilst pushing the boundaries of human performance and progress. What a man 🙏
just wow
You inspired me to learn to crawl last year and I succesfully crossed the lake in my hometown (3.1k) this summer. What you are doing is beyond my imagination. You are a huge inspiration, legend and human being, loved the documentary!
Well done man. That's a hellful of achievement haha!
52:40 Lmao, absolute madlad!!
people are going to need to remember Ross, the man is different and always smiling
What a warrior this man is!
amazing Ross
Ross you are so inspiring for this 71 year old adventurer-swimmer!!!! Keep on swimming in wonderful places and challenging wqhat's perceived as possible x
mad respect this is absolutely insane
Honestly, watching your videos makes me believe there is no limit to what you can do. It is truly inspiring to watch you, Ross, pushing to the Edgley #gratitude 🙏🏼
i do apologize, i shit myself LOL mad man
What an amazing feat, shows the power of the mind and body! 🙌
510km and he turns into Richard Nixon, legendary swim
Ross, you will stay in history. You have one problem, you CAN'T STOP FROM NOW ON. With a 1 hour video, you have insprired one million people with your energy and smile, taking them with you in your journey! I dont have words to describe what you achieved, really. I never congratulate someone who dont deserve it, but YOU DESERVE IT MORE THAN ANYONE. I wish to meet you sometime in the future to tell you how much i appreciate what you have done and how you have helped me over the last year. Keep grinding❤
What an absolute legend! So chuffed for all you guys that you managed it. The world looks on with pride when you try and succeed in accomplishing these amazing feats
My friend Danny wants to know how fast the flow of the river was? And why you decided to do it downstream instead of upstream?
this dude swam 56 hours straight and was still able to crack jokes, actual superhuman!
how you use bathroom
Amazing inspiration man, I genuinely love this !! You gave me motivation to do the small stuff that I have been running away from, cause what you have done right now after 2 "failed" attempts which i believe are actual successes and lessons, is awesome, and history will hold !! Thank you man <3 God Bless you !
Inspirational 💯👏🏼
What I find fascinating, nowhere close to as amazing as what we saw here in this video, is that 1M+ has liked this video. Not because it's not impressive. But because in my world, no one had talked about it or mentioned it before. 1M+ people in this world and yet, it took me 7 days to come across it because I was curious about longest length swam-non-stop. Way to make 1M+ sound small. 😅 much love to the community.
Inspiring to say the least! Well done mate!
Amazing!
you shit yourself three hours in…….seriously?!
Dude you are awesome! If I can help volunteer or just be there next time I would love to be a part of your next yukon experience thanks for sharing excellence ❤
Absolutely amazing, I honestly am at a loss for words..
Its 9.10 km/hr
first thought was he was swimming in place in river against current for 56hours
Life changing.
SPEECHLESS 🔱🥧 massive congrats you legend you did it!!!
Ps. How long did you face take to reduce the swelling??
Incredible, a great story and adventure
You are an absolute superhuman Ross, I aspire to have your mental and physical endurance 🫡
I have followed and participated extreme sports my entire life, this is the single most incredible achievement I have ever been privileged enough to witness through this amazing film. Congratulations on your indescribably impressive feat of human endurance. Your father would be immensely proud, I am certain he was with you every single step of the way❤
Simply incredible achievement from a top guy.
big question is where did he poop?
Crazy man
A mom of 2 boys and about to be 50 years old later this month, I’m setting off to swim 50 miles continuously tomorrow night! Thank you for the inspiration!
This is by far the most impressive thing I've ever seen! Sir, as a fellow swimmer you have earned my eternal respect!
Living legend and a true gentleman
Why though?
Simply amazing nothing else to say on it ❤
I’ve been watching this 15 minutes at a time over a few days and have looked forward to watching this every time! I am astonished at what you’ve accomplished. Truly inspiring.
