Taking to social media, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola expressed her support for Neil Agius as he is set to embark on another attempt to break his own record.
‘Spot on from Neil Agius as he has just announced his next attempt for a record-breaking swim around the Maltese islands’, wrote the President.
‘Determined and resolute as never before to swim 160km non-stop. And all of this for a good cause’, she continued.
She commended the swimmer for the inspiration, determination and his ability to unite people.
Scheduled for late September, Agius plans to swim 160 km in approximately 70 hours without stopping or sleeping, covering the entire Maltese archipelago.
If successful, he will break his own record for the longest non-stop, unassisted sea swim. Last year, he had to abandon a similar attempt off Mallorca due to a jellyfish swarm.
