The Ridiculously Human Podcast RHP#134. Toni Enderli, Extreme Ocean Ultra Distance Swimmer
Some people have mental grit….and then there is Toni Enderli. An unassuming character, doing herculean things. Accomplishing feats, very few humans would even contemplate doing.
He certainly is an endangered rare breed of man, doing tough things, pushing physical and mental boundaries.
The magic and growth happens at the edges of our comfort zones, something which Toni is not shy of testing!
As an extreme ocean swimming athlete, Toni has conquered some of the world’s most daring swimming feats, including the gruelling English Channel (38km) and Hawaii’s treacherous Molokai Channel (42km). Choosing to swim in a Speedo, a swim cap, and goggles, he is the only athlete to have achieved a staggering 30 Robben Island crossings, in ice-cold 13C water!
Toni is the real deal and such a nice, humble bloke. It’s a privilege to speak and learn from someone pushing the limits of life and adventure.
