Be the first Hongkonger to swim across English Channel

Project by Mak Chun Kong

I (MAK Chun Kong) have a dream which belongs to Hongkongers - be the first made-in-Hong-Kong swimmer in the history to swim across English Channel, as a pioneer in Hong Kong extreme swimming. To make this dream come true, I have been receiving three years of ice and ultramarathon swimming training with international standard. My physical condition is ready to swim across English Channel solo. In this challenge, the actual swimming distance will be over 40km. Water temperature is estimated to be 15-18°C. Through this challenge, I want to let the world know the "never give up" spirit from Hong Kong.
