Antonio Argüelles gave a talk about his achievement of the Oceans Seven in Mexico where his talk was picked up by various channels. Over 55,000 students and teachers listened in to the popular speaker:
Argüelles said, “I was very fortunate to give a talk to Mexico’s educational community about the lessons that I have learned through my open water swims and in life. Although I wish the presentation had been in person [shown above], the experience was very enriching. I want to thank the more than 50,000 people who listened to me – students, teachers, parents and school principals, and, of course, the Ministry of Public Education for inviting me.”
