A Man With No Arms or Legs Can swim around the world
Philippe Croizon lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 18 years ago. Since then, he has trained to become a world class athlete. This summer, the Frenchman is going to swim between every continent in the world. This isn't the first time Croizon has attempted to swim a huge distance. In 2010, at age 42, he swam the 21 miles across the English Channel in just 13 hours. Croizon's swim starts in May. He'll swim from Indonesia to Papua New Guinea. Then he'll swim across the Red Sea between Jordan and Egypt, and the Strait of Gibraltar between Africa and Europe. The final swim is a swim across the Bering Strait between America and Asia in August. This man can truly defy what handicapped people can do.
