Australian marathon swimmer Chloe McCardel has successfully completed a world record 126km swim in the Bahamas.
McCardel’s support team says the 42 hour effort between two islands is the longest open-water solo, continuous marathon swim in history.
McCardel’s team say her effort surpasses a similar record set by Australian-British swimmer Penny Palfrey in 2011.
