‘The Swim’ documents Ben Lecomte’s longest swim distance yet 5,000 miles.
Watch long-distance swimmer (and we mean
long distance) Ben Lecomte swim 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. The journey took Lacomte approximately 6 months, swimming from Tokyo to San Francisco.
The purpose of the feat was to raise awareness of ocean pollution, which he has been doing for a few years now. In 2019,
Lecomte swam 300 nautical miles 8 hours a day for about 3 months through the Pacific Ocean’s Great Pacific Garbage Patch as part of that work.
