@internetpolice666 As a person with a phobia of water, I found this incredibly impressive. It's an irrational fear, but one that can be very, very unpleasant when faced. I certainly wouldn't have been able to do this at my worst. Comparing it to those things is just downright insulting. What did you do that raised more? Did you teach a bear to braid your hair and read you stories... Anything less than that makes you a worthless human being.

A little synical r we? lol He could have at least done it blind folded or something. But so moving lol 

[Internetpolice666]

Oh yes. A man swims a length. What an amazing achievement. Much better than the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin wall, the end of Apartheid. You dont get out much do you?

[Tommy Malone]

Genuinely moving. Well done Frank.
