Oceans Seven: How I cheated death and broke the hardest record in swimming - Paperback

by Martin Schauhuber (Author), Attila Mányoki (Author)

If you had to swim through hell seven times, wouldn't you try to get it done quickly?

Attila Mányoki made it his life's mission to complete the Oceans Seven - and break the world record while doing so. This crowning jewel of marathon swimming comprises seven of the most dangerous channels in the world, tormenting swimmers who dare to cross them with freezing water, deadly wildlife, and massive waves.

In this book, Mányoki takes you on his journey from his beginnings as a short kid with asthma through decades of painful struggles and unlikely successes, all the way to a night spent on life support. He relives the day a Greek stranger gave him the most valuable of life lessons, explains his secrets to enduring excruciating pain and opens up on how he faced the sea that had almost killed him for one final showdown.
