As a young man, I invented the Australian style of underwater running while swimming in the Brunswick River, in Northern NSW.
I feel that this new discipline is under appreciated in the world of water sports!
Today I submitted the papers to Guinness World Records (GWR) for an attempt to set a world record for running 20metres underwater.
Yes – it is possible to run underwater. Although, as far as I know there is no current world record for this discipline!
Hopefully GWR will approve my attempt before the water in Sydney gets too cold! Time to get into shape!
