Story
We are very excited to have teamed up with British endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh, Speedo and UN Environment on The Long Swim to raise awareness of the issues our oceans are currently facing.
In July 2018, Lewis will be attempting to swim from Lands End to Dover - a staggering 560km/348 miles. If successful, he will be the first to ever achieve this epic challenge.
We’ll be using #Oceans30 to cover the event on all of our social media channels to highlight the need for 30% of waters to be designated Marine Protected Areas by 2030.

Lewis Pugh is the only person to have completed a long-distance swim in every ocean of the world. Over a period of 30 years he has pioneered swims in the most challenging environments on earth, including the Antarctic, the North Pole and the Himalayas, and developed an understanding of the beauty and fragility of life and its many ecosystems.
Money raised will support Surfers Against Sewage's campaigns, beach cleans and education.
