Ross Edgley (born 13 October 1985) is an adventurer and author best known for becoming the first person in history to swim all the way around Great Britain.
After 2,000 miles and 157 days the World Open Water Swimming Association announced it as the World Swim of the Year 2018 and it became officially recognised as "The World's Longest Staged Sea Swim."
His journey was documented as a weekly internet series, "Ross Edgley's Great British Swim", produced by Red Bull.
Talking about his historic swim he said, "It's my hope that people remember the Great British Swim as an example or experiment in both mental and physical fortitude."
