English comedian David Walliams will on 5th September start a 140 miles swim of the Thames from Lechdale in Glouchestershire to Big Ben in London, hoping to complete the effort in just eight days. His biggest swimming challenge by far, after having 21-mile English channel in 2006 and the 12-mile Strait of Gibraltar in 2008. Read more here on swimming.org.
