    Greg is the star of Silk’s new ad campaign, which also features retired professional swimmer Michael Phelps.

    As part of Silk’s campaign which celebrates progress as perfection, Olympic champion Michael Phelps appears, joining Greg in the pool by showing off and distracting from Greg’s morning laps. Silk is trying to put the message out there that it’s not realistic for all of us to be like Michael Phelps, but choosing almond milk and doing some exercise in the morning is a great step towards getting fitter and healthier!

    Two years ago, the idea of a cross-Channel swim wasn’t the top of Nick Else’s priority list.

    But when he was warned by his doctor that he risked developing type 2 diabetes because of his weight, the 32-year-old from Clayton-le-Woods decided to take drastic action.

    He crossed the channel in a three-stage swim as part of his fitness regime. But, since then, he’s lost 11 stone – half his body weight – and is now ready to dive back into the water in an attempt to beat his personal best.

    “The reason is probably cultural. Right now if you’re a child growing up in Brisbane (where Widmer hails from) you will be pretty much influenced to swim freestyle and if you grow up now in Singapore you have your heroes in that (butterfly) stroke,” said the Australian.

    “Our butterfly model is quite good and young kids will see Jo Schooling and they will try to copy him.”
