CAN YOU SWIM TO
HELIGOLAND
That was the question I asked myself as a child. Everything unattempted remains impossible is motto and then you go for it. It took over 2 years of preparation. Finding the right people, the ones you can inspire involved in such an intense project of putting together the right team. All the doubters who persuade to not do it. Too far, too long, too wild, too dangerous…
THIS IS
HELIGOLAND
49,5km OFF-SHORE
Helgoland is the only German offshore island in the North Seea, 49.5 km from the mainland. My plan: I’ll swim the distance from St. Peter-Ording to Heligoland. Without any aids, just with swimming trunks and swimming goggles. This section of the North Sea is known for the strongest currents. My experienced team accompanies me in the traditional “Börteboot” along the way.
