SwimmerNeil Agiusjust made history and broke a world record.

He also didn’t wear a wetsuit or a smart watch.

It was not a swim for me, it was a swim for Malta, Agiussaid.

By the end of his historic run, the swimmer’s body was definitely pushed to its limits.

In pain from all the nonstop swimming, he sat in a chair and waved at his fans.

Together, theres nothing we cant achieve.

After 60 hours of swimming, Agius made it to Gar Lapsi on September 23.

It was not a swim for me, it was a swim for Malta, he said.

Barely able to climb the ladder, he emerged from the water without help.

Now, Agius' historic swim has been officially ratified by the World Open Water Swimming Association.
