The Sea Hawks are no strangers to endurance-testing expeditions. This year, in February, the team of six Indian open-water swimmers accomplished the world record for the longest relay swim. While covering a distance of over 433 km from Goa to Mumbai in five days, the team fought changing tides 26 times, bad weather conditions, winds, contaminated waters, sea traffic (mainly cargo ships, ferries and fishing boats) and extreme exhaustion. However, this experience might just pale in comparison to their next thrilling adventure.
