There are many potential pitfalls: poisonous freshwater stingrays, bull sharks, piranhas, anacondas, rapids, whirlpools, and the possibility of tidal waves.

And when asked about the toothpick fish that can enter the body by swimming up the penis, and can only be removed by surgery, the marathon swimmer's practicality is as evident as his courage.

Yikes.

windsurfers will pee into their wet suits at times. helps keep you warm, apparently.

What a weenie - he's swimming downstream.

We know how he urinates - what about number 2? That's not going to be fun as it floats on downstream beside him.

Swimming 80-90 K per day. Turns out he's having trouble with sunburn. Still worried about the toothpick fish.
