The long-distance swimmer successfully completed his 15-kilometre challenge across the Strait of Bonifacio in five hours earlier this week amid the coronavirus pandemic, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
It said the daredevil braved the cold rough waters equipped with nothing more than his swimming trunks, cap and goggles.
Ziobro has previously become the first Pole to swim across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe to Africa and the Straits of Magellan in South America.
He also took part in a long-distance swimming relay race across the Bering Strait between the US state of Alaska and far east of Russia. He was entered in the Guinness Book of Records for that feat.
Ziobro’s accomplishments also include swimming around Cape Horn and completing the "Escape from Alcatraz" route from the former prison on Alcatraz Island across San Francisco Bay to the mainland, in addition to a swim along the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on the US West Coast.
