Congratulations Dani Lobo

Heroic Straits of Gibraltar swimmer

Today Dani Lobo battled head colds, fatigue and the elements to swim across the Straits of Gibraltar. Setting off at 11am on Sunday 20 October 2013, Dani swam against the current the whole way from Recife to Morocco in seven hours and nine minutes. The straight line distance is 14.4kms but the currents made it much tougher.

Dani Lobo is the 420th swimmer to have made the crossing to date. 

Congratulations Dani from all your friends at Serpentine SC
