Dutch Swimmer Maarten Van Der Weijden Sets New World Record | I Am Expat
Van der Weijden has certainly had a successful career, taking home gold in the 2008 World Championships and Olympics for the 25-kilometre and 10-kilometre open water marathons respectively.
Since his cancer diagnosis in 2001, the Olympian has also worked to raise funds for cancer research, establishing the Maarten van der Weijden Foundation in 2017. In 2019, he successfully swam the 195-kilometre elfstedentocht route in Friesland, raising over five million euros in the process.
This year, he set his sights on a different goal: breaking the world record for distance swam against a current. Van der Weijden dove into the new challenge, swimming for a total of 32 hours and seven minutes, breaking the previous record of 31 hours and seven minutes.
