Duration: 52 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ALBALatest broadcast: on BBC ALBA

Dh' fhulaing Phillippe Croizon tubaist uabhasach far an do chaill e a ghàirdeanan agus a chasan, ach on àm sin, tha e air misneachd a thoirt dha na mìltean de dhaoine leis na dùbhlanan snàimh aige.

Tha dùil aige a-nise, còmhla ri a charaid Arnaud Chassery, snàmhadair mòr-astar, snàmh tarsainn air ceithir caolasan a tha a' ceangal nan còig mòr-thìrean. Euchd air leth, agus air a chùl, tha an aon iarrtas airson dàn-thachartas, an aon spiorad làidir a tha a' toirt daoine còmhla air feadh an t-saoghail.

After suffering an horrific accident which resulted in the amputation of his arms and legs, Phillippe Croizon has inspired thousands with his swimming challenges.

Now, with his friend Arnaud Chassery, a long distance swimmer, his latest challenge is to swim across four straits joining the five continents. A human achievement driven by the same thirst for adventure and fighting spirit which celebrates the universal values of solidarity and equality. Show less
