Matthieu Witvoet and Chloe Leger Witvoet plan to set off from the island of Cape Verde, off the African coast, on November 1 for a 3,800-kilometre (2,360-mile) swim to the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
“This is ultra-swimming, and that is what we like to do,“ Leger said.
Crossing the Atlantic is a challenge of a different level, though. Water temperatures are expected to hover around 23 degrees Celsius (73 Fahrenheit).
“This summer, we did a lot of time swimming, we swam almost three to four hours a day, so we really got our bodies used to swimming that much per day,“ Leger said.
The swim aims to raise awareness for ocean protection and they have created an educational kit for which more than 63,000 school children have signed up.
“If we don’t complete the physical challenge but succeed in the awareness campaign, we will have succeeded more than if we complete the swim but fail the awareness campaign,“ Leger said - REUTERS
